[bodytext] => Standing on tear washed earth,
Staring down, down at my father. Curtains, sheer and grey, fill my eyes, Dim my view. No sounds, not a heartbeat, Only memories of you. I am alone, without your words. Without the strength of your council, The comfort of your smile. Everything stops but the pain. Standing in the eye of the hurricane, Memories airborne, circling like debris. Eyes bright with joy, lips that held hopes spoken from your heart, from you to me. I feel you standing at my side, I dare not turn to see. Snow blows, sister screams, I throw in a handful of dirt And wish you sweetdreams. Look how the dirt dances across the lid, See how the earth nestles up to you now, Use my eyes. Pull the curtain on this lifes stage, Shovel full by shovel full, Use my hands. Listen to the sobs of love, The last tribute to your being, Use my ears. Leave this place of sorrow behind, Go back to your coffee and slippers, Walk with me.
