Secure the Day

Another day goes by,
from Dusk comes dawn
Passing through this life
without a single tear shed down
upon the grave of he
who passed the simple test of days

uncounted and lives touched unnamed
Always knowing that the day would come
When life abandoned would creep by
And lift our spirits beyond the heavens

Complications gone and spirit at rest
Times long gone, but long remembered
follow the pathway to my heart

Screaming stops and tears wiped away,
talk of passage throughout the morning
glimpse of sunlight shines down upon
the tortured souls left to mourn

A dawning of the spirit rears itself into sight,
and helps heal the wounds of yesterday’s twilight

At peace rests the soul of him we’ve buried
never forgotten, never really known

As for those left behind,
a thought to invoke,
for tempered sentiment
can never be sold

At peace within a scarce rarity
of time and thought drift away,
leading into the mind of others
that can’t be left alone
in the sun’s gleaming light…
