Gone But Alive

We know that life is a journey. And Death is also a continuation of the journey. As it marks the end of the body's journey. And the new beginning of the souls journey A branch has fallen from the tree But he only drifted to become free In a manner coherently sloppy like a scree To obtain divine authority like a decree Perhaps his time seemed too brief But let's not lengthen it with deep grief True it came unannounced like a thief But his memory should be decorated like a chief. It's not how long a man lived But how impactful was the life lived Although it's expected of us to be grieved But it's actually time to get his memory archived. It's true his parting left a void Because of an incident we couldn't avoid. But he is not trapped in a void Rather he is moved on like a car that has been refuelled. #PoeticLord# (c) June 2019
