Best Rest In Peace Poems

“Perching on a fencepost, the meadowlark calls in sweet trilling tones like a solo marimba.” L. Milton Hankins

The meadow lark happily sits along the fencepost singing away
and watches as Milton appears all aglow and here to stay
God’s creatures gather around to watch this beautiful scene
In...

The wings beat against the cage 
in an urgent frenzy tormented never defeated 
within this half twilight zone of slow crawling time held victim 

The allure of consequences nevertheless feeding the flames 
where conscious thought and lucid emotions die 
slowly singed away remains at the...

You were so tired in the end with those weary eyes,
you knew goodbye would be coming too soon-
isn’t it funny how fast our fragile life really flies,
but you were definitely born to hang the moon.

You were such a lovely lady holding much strength,
you adored church...

YOUR LEADERS FAIL THIS GREAT NATION.

THE FAILURE OF TRUTH HAS ERODED YOUR FOUNDATION.

YOUR BORDERS ARE BEING INFILTRATED.

YOUR LEADERS ARE PLAYING POLITICS WITH YOUR PROTECTION.

REST IN PEACE, UNCLE SAM, YOU DO NOT DESERVE THIS TREATMENT.


THERE IS A CURRENT OF TRUTH...

REST IN PEACE

In silence of surrendered feet,
March imaginations of mountain peaks.
Ash upon the inclined ground moves aside.
Tribe kicking leaves— a multicolored tide.
Sticks and stones immaterial— their throne
And ticker thrives with our heartbeats. We move
Less our tongues— echoes of Hallelujah
Sung by soul who lives in eternity.
His...

When mirrors crack they shatter all illusions as rainbow’s end quick fixes lie in tatters on the floor.
A plot for every dream and every dreamer engraved with stirring mottos bound  to fade.
For those who lost the plot a final resting ground,

I hear voices and see faces
Of warriors who died in faraway places.
Some gave their all, all gave their best.
When they were judged, all passed the test.

As I sit here alone on this bench by the lake
I wonder just what chances I’d take.

Dead carcasses are buried
Loved ones mourn

Rest in peace,
Your life on earth is no more…
Farewell, friend...

To: My Grandpa
~1918-2016~

Grandpa was sharp as a whistle up until the very end. Old age and time passing just took a toll on his poor body. Ninety eight sure is a long life to have lived. He was the second in generation. My father is...

Lonely with her illness but eyes full of care and passion 
    Until I could find a way to help you through the day 
    Cause this is heaven where you can always find a way

life is so unexpected but in my eyes I always thought there would be tomorrow
But nothing is promised and I should have known this. Now I live in sorrow
The ups, the downs, the mistakes, I thought I had the chance to one day make it...

There once was an outlaw named Bill
Who was hoping the sheriff to kill
He missed his first shot
But the sheriff did not

Twenty-five years ago
you were placed in my arms
My first child and my only child
Truly, the most wonderful gift I have ever received

A beautiful boy who made my life worth living
and whose smile will forever remain etched in my memory
A boy who grew into a man
and...

It doesn't seem
quite like you're 
gone,
this has to be a dream,
knowing each other
had just
begun,
the future were 
yet to be seen.
I'd hoped with all my
heart and soul,
but it seems that no matter
what,
to know you better were 
my only goal,
but now the future has 
come to a...
