The air holds silence heavy
Sorrow at all sides
All eyes fixed on your casket
The breeze blows in still air
As breathe breaths hollow before us,
The darkness seeps into my soul
And burns all hope away
‘As I walk in the shadow of the valley of death,
I bear witness to every evil. I fear not man nor beast
His light envelopes this darkness and casts me aside
I am His, and He is mine. His angles guide me through.’
To know the feelings,
To hear the muffled tears
Sing a stanza of her elegy
Break down to the sounds
Of the songbird
Clear the space
With art’s desire
All the beauty that you gave
Will pass down to eternity
‘Arrival at the gates of Heaven. I sound to bell and take the hand
Of my guardian. He shows me light, my soul released to beauty eternal. I know true joy in death. Where no shadow may enter.’
Why does empathy hurt so much?
You taught us all to show emotion
To understand perfect harmony
In image and sound
A legacy left of paint and canvas
We thank you,
For all you’ve done
Pain binds us so
This empathy hurts so much…
Silent tears echo this final departure
‘Goodbye.’

I have heard there are troubles of more than one kind. Some come from ahead, and some come from behind. But I've brought a big bat. I'm all ready, you see. Now my troubles are going to have trouble with me.
