Farewell

 I've never imagined, 

someone so loved be gone, 

be wiped from this earth,

cast down under loneliness

in the darkness of the hades, 

forever more.

Like a phonex rises out from ashes, 

out of darkness rises 

the finest grief of loneliness, 

loneliness is a battle 

even queens are ought to fight,

lone alone for themselves.

I don't know what to say,

I don't know what to do,

if at all could I have something,

something stronger than whiskey

to slap my soul out awake

out of this grief-mare. 

Here we lay him, 

set for his lone journey in the dark, 

on the other side of the bridge

who will hold his hand

who will light his path?

...hold me please...

Let us pray;

"Our Father which art in heaven, 

hallowed be thy name. 

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth, 

as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread

and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors

lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: 

for thine is the kingdom, 

and the power, and the glory, for ever. 

" This is it,

a journey we all yet are destined for

as who still breathe in life's glitches 

like a silkworm eats merry berry leaves

metamorphoses into a chrysalis, 

and then flies away as a butterfly

let's embrace the promises of eternal life,

promised only to He who overcomes."

Amen.
