ASHES TO ASHES, DUST TO DUST

I sit by the window watching the sky

And I wonder why my buddy had to die

The feeling inside makes me cry

Makes me feel like life will soon pass by

Words keep rumbling in my head

My eyes won’t shut even in bed

 Fools rush in where angels fear to tread

Yet I need an answer from the dead

The whats, the whys and hows

I seek from the eyes of your spouse

Like a search for a flying mouse

Alas! Silence grips the house

How do I sing our song?

Now that you’re gone

Who will play the gong?

Indeed! Good things don’t last long

The signs are not of closures

For while I walk with our brothers

I feel your tap on my shoulders

And your footsteps like a soldier’s

I turn to smile at you

But I do not see your hue

Is it in my head or it’s really you?

I just don’t have a clue

Today, death had his way

But wherever you may be P. Kay

Just know that come what may

We will surely meet again someday.
