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
