The lines were too dead for urgency The shaman couldn't be reached The celebration is an emergency, My heart was finally breached. The crime scene, darker, meaner, time slower, A pandemonium should have happened there But it was outside, and my line was dead Or it was just this party has no power, The ghouls tried while I had a spinning head. The call was nearer, clearer, the light brighter The master could be easily reached The place, better, cleaner, safer, prettier The celebration couldn't be impeached. The garden with lights that forever burn Welcomes me with songs of joy, I can fly now, I giggle in my every turn Here, I don't need a kind of toy, One last look..Tears. I will never return.

Is this how departing ones feel, with a little set of tears as they look back at what didn't really work? "One last look...Tears. I will never return." Guess a youth, mostly. Hope 2017 be a good one for you. ????

Thank you so much Rainbow Promise. I highly appreciate the view from your standpoint. The title, it was the date my 3 year old son died. My thoughts about that day, and what could have been his dying thoughts that day.

Could this be Epic?
