there is stillness in the air today.. without knowing why, i got up this morning.. had breakfast, took a shower, had a cigarette, went to work and stayed there.. i thought maybe i had slept too late the past few days.. then a call came.. she said you were gone.. then it hit me.. it was you.. you were the reason why the birds werent singing and the seas stopped waving.. you've passed.. suddenly i didnt know what to do.. who to talk to.. what to eat or what to wear.. for a moment i thought you were talking to me.. i felt a breeze go by where i was sitting.. i heard your voice and saw your face.. you were happy.. it seemed as though a great big burden was lifted from you.. then i realized that youre not really gone.. youre in a different space.. where time does not exist.. where pain seems so far away.. we will miss you.. but i know you can see us clearly now.. taking care of your family even if they do not see you.. cause you know what? all you need to do is make us feel your joy.. your unending peace.. we will see you soon.. in that plane you now call home.. dont worry, we'll take care of each other while youre away.. do take care of yourself old friend.. may they take care of you there the way you took care of us here in this plane called earth..
