REST

 

I knew him not

My mum spoke of how good a man he was

People said he was kind-hearted.

It's sad that now he's spirit.

The church walls felt so enclosed

The claustrophobic effect

Back and forth the people walked

There laid his body lifeless

The fans twirled slowly

The feel of their feet hanged back to their seats

Time had come to stand still for a moment

Loud and silent tears rolled down their cheeks

All seen and felt

But I knew him not

I wish I did

It reminded me of my Granny Janet's loss

It broke me

Different emotions, swept the room because of his demise.

I focused on the tunes that played through my headpiece

so I don't get caught up in the moment

"Sorrows, sorrows, prayers"

The words of Queen Charlotte.

It was indeed sorrowful

But prayers for the family to stay strong

To walk in faith, not by sight

Words from the priest, "Live a paradise shift life, for tomorrow is not promised".

Giving his last respect

Someday, it would be us

Our funeral ,not knowing our very last

When you think

Think about Eternity.
