Silenced By the Night

The weather is chilly and the clouds are casting a shadow, 
Ravens are soaring over,
And the gust of wind is whisking off tree leaves.
Now let’s take a moment of silence, and accolade Benjamin,
Benjamin you barred your eyes too soon, 
And so was your heart silenced by the night in a minute,
I, Drake, Family and Friends we will always miss you dearly. 
Benjamin.

Beloved Drake,
Benjamin was called on by the only chosen one, Yahweh! 
To another shore, some where we will meet him again,
And remember that beyond every road there is a bend, 
A bend with dimming stars over the sky,
So we just need to stay patient and navigate through each bend safely.
Believe me, his silence still watches over you princess,
He is in heaven which is haven for his soul.
Now let me walk you through the Storm,
Trust me after the Storm parade, you will be sufficient enough,
Sufficient enough to live with the present and be able to grin again,
Because Benjamin is not cold,
He just switched to the phantom zone!
Somewhere we will meet him again,
Benjamin’s soul still lives within us,
And we will meet him again.

In memory of Late Benjamin
