Reflections

Life’s a long and hard paved road
It’s never a gift , it’s just bestowed
But when you reach up to the sky
All your dreams will never die
Your set to rest in this holy place
The golden gates announce your grace
It feels so true but I cannot see
That the one suffering here is me

This distance that divides
No love to set me free
I never signed to this loneliness
This is not what I had planned

Looking for a sign
When nothing’s really, there

If heavens the place where you roam
Why am I sad and all alone?
This mortal life feels like a grave
Without you I’m sworn to fail

These words are all that left of me
Hope your happy and riding free.

It’s dedicated to a good friend of mine who lost his life in a tragic bike accident. He got paralyzed and on life support. After a while we had a power outage way back and the hospital’s generator took 5 mins to come on for the life support machine to resume but those 5 mins where his last
