The final threshold.
Death gives a sign,
uncertainty and unanswered questions.
A strong and sturdy bridge,
that many have walked across.
Listening in the emptiness,
a harp without strings.
Emotionally imperfect.
Words fail,
thoughts and feelings dominate the room.
~ without need for description
You have struggled for so long.
Accepting does not refer giving up.
The thing I never said
meant nothing,
Words cannot change the course of life.
A night without a facade,
reflecting your truth and sagacity.
You do not need to prepare.
Follow the light in soothing peace,
with unconditional acceptance.

Goodbye Dolly
we do sigh Dolly
No we cry and also smile
For a while parted
We’ll see you later Dolly
at Heaven’s gate Dolly
Off the country charts uncharted
Are you singing with the angels
You are loved Dolly
Can’t believe your absence Dolly
By golly I feel old
Bowled over when life flips over
Goodbye Dolly
See you later Dolly
We do cry and smile
We do sigh Dolly…
I miss you so much
but you are not in
the fore front of my
mind like you were
when you first
said goodbye, why?
I had to learn to go
on without you!
I had to learn to live in
world that we no longer
occupied together.
Although I don’t cry
every day like I did
when you first left,
I’ll hear a song or recall
a memory and the
tears begin to fall.
I could never forget you!
You’re part of me,
imprinted on my
heart and soul.
Although grief wears
a different face as time
goes by , just know
I live for us both!
When your time comes, will you look death straight in the eye
Will you refuse to go quietly, curse and refuse to die
When the time comes will you cry out and let the tears flow
Will you accept your time has come and it is your time to go
When your time comes, would you prefer to be in hospital or at home
Do you want to be surrounded by strangers, or would you want to die alone
When your time comes, would you want it to be fast or slow
Would you keep it to yourself or want everyone to know
When your time comes, would you want to say goodbye
Or say nothing to loved ones because you don’t want to make them cry
When the time comes and you know that is your fate
Make the most of your life now because death will not wait
You had to say goodbye.
Gently kissed the tears from my eyes.
Soon we will meet again.

One beat at a time
How would the heart respond?
Steady or slow
Fast pace or just let go
Goodbye would be hard to face
Timing in everything with a pace
The moment
Quick answers having no time for questions
Goodbye being as time went by
Living and Striving at every try
Little time to spare
Counting heartbeats
One life one everlasting
Goodbye with its own accelerating speeches in beats
Heartbeats always remember
Goodbyes simply give up.
tears flow
coffin lowered
standing here missing you
my life changing in an instant
goodbye
death is a silence
that brings
old friends and family together today
to remember our missing friend and loved one
each person grieving in their own way
some through tears
others with laughter
through stories and shared memories
death is a silence
the absence of life
a void that memories will fill
it's a tearful goodbye
that becomes a new beginning everyday
for family and friends
special occasions will have an empty chair
quiet moment of reflection
there won't be time to forget
their name,
their special place in our hearts
their spirit will always live on
It's parts of my mind that speak to me,
A moment in life that felt strange.
The situation I'll try to memorize,
The fog taking over my brain.
My mind began to become clearer,
My vision was troubled and blind.
The first hand that spoke to me
Left my eyes in a bind.
The pain became intense; the brain is numb,
A sincere gift of death's present.
There's no future in front of me,
Just a swift stop of time, a slow descent.
Oh just shut up, you loud-mouthed crow.
Tell me something that I don’t know.
Like ~ when's the day on which I'll die,
and if there's anyone who'll cry,
or wave my wretched soul goodbye.
I saw a wild daisy, and it made me think of you.
Standing tall and strong, out of rocky soil it grew.
A sadness crept over me like none I ever knew.
I missed the nearness of you.
Your smile, our chats, holding your hand.
When I saw that flower defiantly stand,
sunny face upturned towards the sky
I am reminded that death is not goodbye;
perhaps this is you come to say hi.
Follow My Death
It doesn't exist, don’t, the love here
Never, faraway, passed, stop heart
I am gone, new life, new world, desire
I live there, but empty the bench, hell like
Good to be, and good to live, desert this life
Human life? Demon life? I am a desert city-desire
Death for life changed my life, but it stayed in my heart
Remaining something from the left life, the abandoned life
Oh! Oh!! Demonic desire! / This is, this is the new truth and fact!
Oh! Oh!! New life! – New reality, new opportunity, destruction is behind
I'm following the living death
My death is following me
Goodbye, stay here
Earthly devil desire
Empty my bench
Empty my bench
Are you coming?
Light burned our bench
You stay?
I am far
My friend had to put his dog to sleep today,
he was a Dachshund only five years old;
loyal, brave, clever, pretty eyes,
feisty, beloved, with floppy ears.
Brutis had a "big" dog personality all the time,
loved most people, children, and other dogs;
Oh, Brutis had so much charisma, so much charm,
I can see him walking with that wee hop in his step.
But, Dachshunds have delicate backs,
and Brutis suddenly became paralyzed.
No surgery possible,
no other option ~
So, he said goodbye and I love you Brutis today,
you were a little warrior- now, go get your wings !
he walks among angels now ~
though it broke my heart
i had to set him free
