Celebration of Life, Rhyme

It has always been true that beautiful things grow where we let them.

The calling card of a passing
is a note written on broken back
Stealing faith and lifetimes
informing you of what you now lack

As if you could ever cease to believe in what you knew
As if you could ever let completely go of what you grew

To root
To ash
To seed

Gone.

(gone, gone, gone)

The echo separate. The toll erased.
The hole felt material, in both time and space

What you were told, and what you intuited
What you lost, and what you gained

They'll say he really loved you
and you'll say, he really does.
And knowing this will always be
life; that's all it was.
