Is tomorrow the judgement day
Stood at t' front line, rows of candles, to account to
To answer for, what I did with this life
Memories, bubble joy and a life lived
I did say in my time, in my time, I saw many a face
I traveled the world, and knew love
I knew love, that cared I mothered one, fathered one
And walked a thousand red carpets
With masked emotions, finding myself
I fought my demons, that shadowed my blessing
An angelic voice lost to this world
A soul free, bird's flight
My star is now dim slow burn on candle lights
Is tomorrow the judgement day
For I feel light, on weight, drying out leaves
And being relieved of the burden I hold
I bathed in waters, immersed bubbles
To cleanse my soul, before going
Though as it stands, on reflection
If tomorrow is the judgement day
I will not be looking back, with sorrow
This life was just a passage, and I enjoyed it steps
And yes, for the love and songs we shared
It would take eternity to break us, so don't cry
So sad that her lights went out when she still had so many ahead of her but there is nothing much that we can do about it. We can only remember her music forever and so she will live on through that.
ReplyDeleteIt would be nice if she was still floating on the wonderful bubble she rode on her ride to fame but it popped a long time ago. Very sad.
