Have you had the Blues?
(A lone voice whispers)
As the silvery midnight sun rose
I drank my wet velvety smooth whiskey
Tasting exquisitely
My Life's Blues
I looked to the faraway sparkling stars
Wondering
Where do those lost really go
The mother's
Fathers
Sisters and brothers
After this mortal show
Is it to alabaster halls and reunions with old family and friends
Warm conversations
Endless soft music
Dancing around fires and priceless red wine
Or somewhere else
Cocooned between this world and the divine
Just relentlessly exchanging stories and fond memories
For there is no longer any time
Will they still remember us and send us a sign?
A soft kiss on the cheek
A red robin
A white feather
To always remind us,
They still wait love drunk
In all weathers
Longing for an embrace
Like a drop of spiritual moonshine
Will we ever see them again?
Or are they simply lost forever
No matter how hard we pray and mutter amen
