Lemon Hills

said take your time no need to go
and sky was like a deep pink dream
the trees alive with lilac sheen

and birds and pets and all things loved
sat there with us and made great fuss
and I...  I was so grateful love

to be with you in worlds above
and sometime later two men came
we knew them by their earthly name

as brawd and dad who come from earth
to find us in their death's rebirth
and all, we sat, in rippling grass

and hugged and drank a glass to past
then someone said one must return
and so I woke to lifes raw burn

and so I said farewell to thee
a son, a brawd, a dad, all three
who this four years have come to be

no longer on this earth with me
but still I am most grateful still
to now soul know of lemon hills

and you and they and what awaits
when I too pass right through death's gates
and so I raise a toast to thee

for dreams can be the truth you see
and comfort when the day is long
for now I know that none are gone

that one day when my maker says
I too shall leave these earthly ways
and this time I shall get to stay

you all are but     a breath away
