This 1 Is For and On Behalf of You and Countless Others

Tonight i come i write as not me but for thee With fashioned , gifted , borrowed , lender pen On behalf of or partial to other's those who no longer , longer nigh As raven , ashen , dust , decaying are they having had their life their day in earthly court So if yee dead have something wished for i to say Then speak through me drive my hand force my pen your story tale to tell , lest it be left untold Tell me of the very moment a tear drowned trickle beaming smilling upon your face Whence i your first born baby entered exited head a first What joy it was or felt to be a father of a new born innocent infant birthed To witness wife as mother screaming crying tears of joy handed cradling child on breast so close and tender to chest Tonight i write impartial on and for the family swelling tree's behalf As fallen leaf in felling autumnal setting each leaf asides Like only running water son or daughter , mother , father can like water the influence of ink doth feel For love of one another once crosses tears apart Till sitting in a garden shed in silent contemplation is the only hobby worth of consequent Once stationery becomes one tool swapping spade for pen in a den of ubiquity And the waterfall the quill still wetting is fallen fateful closely met With imagery to overcome and match said sorrow both head to head and face on face Terminating in everlasting , restful grace for all and everyone no less blessed
