I wish to breath your joy, hear you laugh and hiss.

See your face, full of light, like a dream, cloudless,

Realized in a moment frozen.

To feel some way that we’ll never forget.

~

In this western rain, the future went and came again

Behind closed eyes, in thickened time, I feel you amidst. They think I’m insane.

Thin air to breathe, entrenched we dig.

Are we close? …Lead me to the ocean.

Unveil another sign.

They bring titanic peace to a rabid mind.

~

Travel north through the vast valleys, and find my forest bed.

A wish into forever, a dream within a thread.

Head is wrecked, the pain turns black

Heavy trains roll down a misty track.

I miss our family. Your mother wants you back.

Tears splash pride into springs unmatched.

We abide, confused, within a mask of song.

We all love you. From my infinite heart to the you beyond.

~

Do you hear me sing my secrets when I talk it through?

Do you ever want to answer when I’m asking what to do?

You are grace full. And I am alive.

Your presence is my strength.

Through death I will thrive.

~

Grateful for my family and for the loving faithful;

Separately working; we are the push, and the pull.

A great treasure of living is to honor the dead.

Our family, our friends, they will never end.
