BALANCING DESTINY / part two With no urn for you ashes no sarcophagus made of stone your ashes laid naked in despair exposed to the frigid night air I returned this past March as we laid Gram to her final rest eyes searching for the past, remnants of your ashes, left four years before Why did you decide it was time to depart? the loudest guitars can't calm my heart visited the foot of West Ferry on this solemn day the place the slaves escaped to freedom they say Suffering from destiny's indelible stamp, pondering the freedom you searched for that day why is it that so many brilliant minds wander from this Earth before their time? Standing on the edge of the mighty Niagara the powerful spell you must of been in mysteries of the river as it doodles in my head reaches into the mind and attempts to pull me in You come across as one with such a cold heart I know this isn't true so I'm left here to ponder you had to know what you were doing that day the mighty Niagara leaves no room to play MJPease THE EARTH THE SON and THE MOON Written March 9th, 2002 © on Mar 15 2002 01:55 PM PST   0 • 1
