Seraphina

I found it on the sidewalk last night

a coffin made of ivory

with its lid pushed aside

As I was getting closer

looking down

covered up in purple plastic balls

it was you that I found

Before I had a chance to reach down and give my hand to

you

like a champagne cork you got up

and disappeared

Seraphina

here is peace to your soul

a lightyear gone

but not letting go

Then I was at your funeral

with my best friend

at a dive bar in your neighborhood

where all good things come to an end

he told me over and over again

'listen man it might be hard to understand but

don't mourn the dead

celebrate the life they gave'

I replied

'isn't it a shame that we have to go away

when there is still so much that we never got to say?

wouldn't it be nice if we could continue

to the end of the universe and beyond?'

Seraphina

here is peace to your soul

a lightyear gone

but not letting go

put that shuttle in reverse girl
