Eve of Despair

In the eve of despair
All is quiet

Destruction all around
The horrors of the day
Now only memories
Gone by the way
If only just moments ago...

Overwhelming grief and sadness
Unbearable loss
Riding waves of emotion
Releasing feelings,  coming to
Shores of divine devotion

Emphasis on creation
Moving forward well
Not to be followed by
The past's evil spell

In the here and now
Eye on the mark
Into the dawning light
May great future embark

In the distant horizon
A bright light dawning

Just be in love

"Just be in love.  Love will conquer all.  Love is truth.  Truth is G-d"
Ghandi

With A Twinkle In His Eye

So dignified and great
Yet no one escapes their fate
Now lying in his bed dying
His wife by his bedside crying

With a twinkle in his eye
He does not ask why
Knowing his time is done
It may not seem so to some
He is grateful for his life

Yes, the end has come so soon
At least at first he thought
But then his head began to swoon
I'm 90, am I not?
It had all gone so fast
But of course it could not last

As he realized it was his time
Suddenly, it all turned on a dime
Time, in fact, a physical thing
Becoming his wing
As soon as he knew
He let go and flew
