When we lose a loved one to the first death
Looking at them just before their bodies are put to rest
Their eyes closed,
Their lips sealed,
– not a ‘who goes’
Formerly a Mr. ‘Find me on my ten toes’
There’s no coughing in the coffin, everyone knows
Now there’s no need to owe too when the wind blows

We see fingers locked in stoicism clawing at inertia
Feet defeated by the space between death and forever
Formerly an Alpha but the issue is who issued you your designation
Resignation
No tomorrow truly kills he who dies daily

And yes we cry
Tears offered tear grace from the eye of reason
True sons sit in sorrow and forget the Risen
Like Martha looking forward to a resurrection
We forget that life’s true task was transformation
And the former systems kneel, but a human still feels
No pretense is defense enough for any of life’s meals
No sensation summarizes how this life feels
We break fast when break’s fast and we brake fast when it’s breakfast
In the end, what’s left will be what’s real and what truly lasts

Walking Dead but I’m alive in Christ
That’s my mansion
Alter calls I answered thrice
Now I walk with God
Heavenly Receptionist, I reply with The Word
Stranger Things have walked this earth
Given free rein
Who the Son sets free walks a free reign
Ka-anyi ju No. 8 if the 7th virgin carried extra oil
Or carry extra oil so the foolish praise the Lord

Yeah I let the scriptures warp my world view
And snuck into the parties that the King of Kings threw
So pardon me for laughing but I have the Lord’s view
And I will be rejoicing when I’m saying ‘Adieu’

Bless You.
