One short errant shot
Taken, a vibrant, young life
Finds eternity

So many candles burning, no brighter than a single flame
Dimly lit distractions, another one, they’ve come to claim
Keep your eyes on the colors, red and yellow float away
Spirits, in the mortal plane, release hidden souls this day
Guard your loved ones closely, lest they be taken, too
When the time has come, alas, they’ll also come for you
Fear not they who visit, regard the plan they must keep
To gather those who’ve lost their way, gather in the sheep
Lead them to greener pastures, far away from hurt and pain
Then remind us, there will be a day, we’ll be together, again

Lost spirits, dancing, in midair flight,
No shadows cast, beneath the light
Of a street lamp, in the dewy mist,
Lingering softly, like a sweetened kiss
Stuck in limbo, they forage the Earth
Longing, praying, for their own rebirth
Though nothing here, is worth the tally,
Too many have gathered, in the alley
Harrowing screams, and chilling groans
Covered in dirt, these skeletal bones
They hope for more, but circumstances
Just don’t allow them, second chances
So hover they must, no place to land
Their presence, no longer in demand
Forced to move on, to find their place
Where eternity rests, without a trace

She plays the sweetest melody
A violin, tucked under her chin
The sounds that make the angels sing
As on her fiddle, she would begin
A sadness, on her face, appears
Her eyes closed, as she’s recalling
The one who sat upon this chair
A child’s tears, would soon be falling
From this daughter, who loved her deeply
Though, no longer could she hear her play
Except through her very own fingers
Grandma said mommy wanted it this way
And so she plays, for her mother
A woman, she can no longer see
Until her time, on this earth, is done
When they’ll play, together again, for eternity

Early morning hours
Linger for an eternity
In ebony light
Dried up, depleted
I, like a wilted rose
On the yellowed page
Fell crumbled, defeated
And you left me that way
