Fly Away My Brother

Fly Away My Brother 
 
Fly away my brother, fly away 
I felt you streaking through space  
blowing stars off course 
lighting up the sky  
as you shed the shackles of earth. 
Fly away my brother, fly ever upward 
Explode forever everywhere 
as you find your place in eternity 
Wonder at what has 
never been known. 
Beginning or end 
you’re always with me: 
Two little boys 
sharing a bed  
looking out the window 
above the Christmas lights,
searching for Santa Claus 
Wondering what 
time will bring. 
 
                    (For: Jerome)
