Burying skeletons is
Easy but exhuming
Them and facing
The ghosts from
Your past is
Hard face them
Unleash them and
Tell them you’ve
Wronged ask them
for forgiveness this
Is but one
Gateway to Heaven
Category: Death
DadII (to Steven)
He’s gone now
To wander the
Mysteries of the
Universe and to
Perhaps reappear one
Day to each
Of you a
Songbird in a
Far off tree
Singing a song
Only you will
Hear and remember
Rest well Dad
Until the next
You are here
GoneLost (for boo and bean)
Sitting here today
I’m present to
Lost and found
Something lost can
Be found again
But by then
It’s too late
Either you’ve discovered
A replacement or
You’ve learned to
Do without it
Keep important things
Close to you
Because once they’re
Gone they are
Gone for good
BecauseTheyAre (to Buster and Chamomile)
Why is it
That when I
Have dreams about
My long gone
Pets I wake
Up with the
Same heavy dull
Heartbreak of loss
And welling tears
As if I’ve
Rediscovered the death
Of my dearest
Dearest loved ones
Because they are
At my age
Nightmares are often
About the death
Of lost love
Creating an ache
I cannot shake
Frightened to sleep
And remember again
Leaving (to Myles)
The hardest part
About leaving anything
Is making the
Decision to leave
This includes love
Jobs and life
