A sight to behold, place of all sins ridden,
Where the great rivers give life and churn,

Is not an easy thing
Try as you might, you will never

Hollow tears of some

In yonder realm, what once has passed,
No longer bears significance, it's time to unmask.
Bid farewell to all the misunderstandings,
Days spent explaining, now just fleeting renderings.

Let the lengthy hours fade away,
Those that slew love and joy,...

And as the last petal finally falls,
My voice will be stilled.

Will ever be silent.

We get buried under tents
in cemeteries, a sensible 

insurance send off,
throwing roses into a hole. 

At parking lot carnivals in June,

In a medley of colors, plants and trees proudly stay

in spite of my Grandpa, who grumbled and yawned
