Questions
Listen to poem:
If you could ask one question of the dead
What would it be?
How are you?
Or do you miss me?
The times you were here
And the times you’re not
Have not diminished
You from my thoughts
I still remember
I still reminisce
I still keep the memories
Of the good times I miss
Did you see all you wanted to see ?
Or do what you wanted to do ?
In the end did you see your own peace through ?
did you have regrets in the end ?
do you have thoughts of eternal love you'd like to send ?
Or are these to many questions for you in your peace ?
do you want me to be quiet and simply cease ?
I wonder sometimes
what's it's like for the dead
do they ever regret things left unsaid ?
for me and my thought
I offer not
what was or will be
I humbly ask that when its my time
To graciously accept me
The lost and alone
resting under my stone
an eternal marker
rotting to the bone
ready for judgement
for the seeds I've sown
Eric (and sometimes not)
