You always had that fire
burning in your eyes
Life's force flowed
through your veins
So vibrant , so alive
You had a laugh
that rocked the boat
You made the difficult
into a joke
So I was unprepared
to find you there
Laying still as if asleep
I studied every wrinkle
upon your face
But I could find no trace
of the you
I used to know
I sighed
with the loss of an age
I had come to find
the very last page
Peace was so unbefitting
of the manor I knew
You would be so
unapproving of the show
I came to say goodbye
but you were not there
Instead I found you
in the sunset of my dreams
that night when I looked
up into the stars

You always had that fire

You made the difficult

Laying still as if asleep
I studied every wrinkle

But I could find no trace

Peace was so unbefitting

but you were not there
Instead I found you
in the sunset of my dreams
that night when I looked
