...must have been...

the weight of the world,
the feeling of helplessness,
the night wearing
you out, into a thin veil
of a man
i once admired...

the cruelest of times
the hand that was dealt,
the cards gone awry,
it must have been,
you think it's time
to say goodnight...

the last breath escapes
from parted lips,
your son's embrace
have not been missed

a message left
on my phone,
simply said,
that you were gone...

it must have been
that you have known
how much time has
simply thrown
you away...
but i do not think of it
that way,
you live,
you'll live
you will always live
in Bubba's eyes,
my son and daughter,
long after they bear their own...

it must have been,
that you simply need
to rest,
it has been a long journey
and your bones do ache
all we all are dust
in the end,
all we all turn to dust,
in the end...


*** the night turns to day, too much airconditioning must have frozen my brain, this is but half of what i wanted to say... farewell...
