How Do You Take A Death?
How do you take a death,
When the weight of its pain
Brings you to your knees
And stabs you repeatedly
As you bleed through most sorrowful tears?
How do you take a death,
When its cold bludgeons you frozen
Makes you crawl to nowhere
In all your disbelief
When you try to justify Life’s loss…
…and find out there’s no Justice…
For an angel born in a new home, Heaven…
Do you question the Lord,
Do you blame Him for the choice of the cause
The mistakes, the circumstances,
The manner of death,
The suffering much less than you now have to endure?
Know there is justice….
For an angel born in a new home, Heaven…
Do not question the Lord…
If not to get answers.
You can not take a death…
Unless it is yours…
And you can live in honor
Of all the good your lost love have done alive
And you can live in respect
To all the wishes of our beloved departed…
Accepting an angel is born
In a better home we call Heaven…
Thousand-Yard Stare
Shed a few shallow tears
and not be tormented…
The saddest eyes are those
that have nothing even just for tears…
Move yourself towards and through heartache
and finally move on again…
The blackest heart can never speak
of love ever again…
Let the world delight upon well-being
and tell yourself you aren’t feasted on…
A soul that has learned the first of its final lessons
Is already just waiting to go home….
