A candle flickers, on the bedroom stand

This is the night, she so carefully planned

Her favorite book, laid by her side

She promised to read it, but knew that she lied

The pill bottle, there, on her white satin sheets

Open and empty, she’s falling asleep

Her thoughts start to wander, with dreams, unfulfilled

The rooms getting colder, her body now chilled

The flame, once so bright, is diminished instead

For she took her own life, when she made her own bed

Too many stories, still left unheard

Too many lives taken, how very absurd

These days, passing by, have been such an extreme

Can’t wait for it to be over, this twenty-sixteen

A Starman, a Prince, George Michael, and more

Debbie and Carrie, Glenn, and Gabor

Rickman, Vaughn, Frey, and Ali

How many more could there possibly be?

Wilder and Palmer, Henderson, Thicke

Too many, too young, gone too quick

The days of our childhood, taken away

I wonder if God had it all planned this way

Perhaps he knew better, that we would survive

But I sure as hell wish, they were all still alive

angel-1361413_960_720
I journey out into the night
Reach my hands up to the sky
Run my fingers through the stars
And hear the angels sigh

They shine their light
From the heavens above
Eternally keeping watch
With their undying love

Ethereal beings
Kept close to our hearts
Till we meet them again
Ne’er to depart

 

Dedicated to dear friends and loved ones who have left this Earth much too soon. We all have angels watching over us….

reflections-19866_960_720
As each leaf fell to its watery grave

It created a beautiful picture

From shadows above, reflected, the sun

A masterpiece, made from a mixture

Of nature’s last breaths, not really a death

A mere reminder, of how life is done

leaves-984544_960_720
They cry out in anguish,

Voices never heard aloud

Yet, the weak become stronger

Braving the mighty gusts

Of unrelenting winds

Until they are strong no more

Letting go, their one last grasp slips away

And they float, down to the ground

Lingering, in those final moments

Before their souls blend with the earth
