For you,



today i prayed for a falling star
the deepest purple love could fill
the brightest gold a heart could steal
it fell and in my palm a crimson rose

thought i could offer this to you
shimmering petals diamond tears
they flowed and flowed
down the streams and up the hill

one day the sky staled gray
deeper purple yellow hay
a wind came and painted your face
withered petals-
beautiful sunset in the falling rain





tick tick tick
your machine cooed
today i waited
u cringed u shivered
they said u'll be going in a day

ur skin bled
u slept through the voices of regrets
the lady in white said
u'll last
u were strong today

tomorrow
i'm taking u out this place
back at home u'll lay
ur mama's photo in a faded frame
heavenly robes in place

u await grandma's face
machines running your race
dont hold on any longer
i've already prayed

He'll come and u'll see
the light of most loving grace
Go on, we're here
in Heaven new life awaits.









a deeper orange
