A lone voice whispers
To you
YES
I know who you are from in here
Look to those deep memories
For they are no longer cold graves that may
Cause you to weep
Try not to lose too much sleep on those
Who may lovingly still
Call me a creep
For what they do not know
I’m but part of lifes indulgent experiences
A tiny strand of all those thousand winds that Love blows
That rare bottle of
Emotional Tennessee whisky
Tasted in the heat of the moment
All beautiful memories you may choose to help serenade you to sleep
The twinkling diamond in a dark storm-filled cloud
As it snows
A burst of blistering sunlight to warm your soul
Wherever you go
That gentle reminder
Embedded in one of our faded love songs
Whenever you open those dark brown eyes
In the early morning breeze
Now that I’m gone
For all I am now is but one of the soft stars
That shines so brightly at midnight
A man from the South Side
Living now in the Great In-Between
Speaking to you for the last time
Before I make my final ride home
Don’t let regret and grief
Be the only things
Your life forces you to eat
Just try to always remember me
The good times and my eternal love
Within every step, you take and with every heartbeat
It was always meant to be
It was always meant to be
One day in here
With the Lord's blessings
When we are together
Again as one
Perhaps then
You’ll see
