and just like that you were gone
  the good light dimming
    as it sank below
     the horizon of life
   and slowly slipped
    to the secret places
      only known to moonlight
        and butterflies
and its true... our hearts
  are heavy with grief
   but we are fortunate
    that you gave us
     so much to love
       that you gave us
         so much love
that even though our hearts
   are heavy with the news today
we can take comfort in knowing
   that your memory
    and everything
you gave to us in your life
   will one day soon
    make our hearts smile again
that even from wherever
  you may be hiding now
   that we will laugh and sob
    and grieve and find joy
     with you again
      and again
       and again
  and I know when
   we need it most
    we will find you in
      the good light again

What use is moonlight?
I reach into it, fingers open,
And my hand is silvered
And blessed, and comes back to me holding nothing.
I started wishing on the stars in the sky instead.
I said to the sun, tell me about the Big Bang.
The sun said, "It hurts to become".
