Some New Tomorrow

In death we departed, you knew your time had come. Your body rose to meet last breath, then sunk again, to hold forever's peace within your chest. Such frozen coldness set your bones, grey/blue lips, cyanosis undertones; and what for me to do next, but search your soul, which lies not in your breast? Confused, perplexed, I know you do not sleep; but watch the world go by. Not in the casket buried 6 foot deep, yet in my heart and mind. A trace of sadness, not understanding yet; and nothing to lose. So mournful these tears I cry, unseen under the mist of time. Saying Goodbye the next life's waiting, I see the road back in different light. Wavering unsafe over the horizon, I conjure dream like wraiths; sinister and heavy against the spirits. Where memories leap you will not die, for patiently you'll wait; and until then I know you'll stand like sentinel at gate. I know you keep a watch o'er us, protect from harm all those you loved. Through long and lonely hours I sigh, remembering long lost days gone by. You keep me warm and comfort me in ways Only you could ever know how Until we meet again some day some bright new tomorrow.
