Silver ripples
Crinkle on the lake
Grip the paddles
Echo in the waves
Seattle rains
Fall hard today
But sunlight always
Slips beside the grey
Shine down
Through the clouds and funeral shrouds
Comfort us
Mortal beings on the ground
From the highest peaks
Come crashing through
Silver marble
Dive deep into the blue

But sunlight always
Slips beside the grey
Shine down
Through the clouds and funeral shrouds
Comfort us
Mortal beings on the ground
From the highest peaks
Come crashing through
Silver marble
Dive deep into the blue
For my dear cousin, who passed away from colon cancer a few weeks ago
