Final Rest
Often feeling misunderstood while tears fall down my face like a flood. Mother tells me that she took the road less traveled and concludes that I traveled abroad. Many of us stop to ponder while the ebony drapes open to bring in the ivory light. We contemplate the condition Mother was in when we found her laying at the alter. Here, we started praying to an infinite being that she at least once referenced to be the liking of a God. Now all we can do is bow our heads and nod while remembering the pain felt when those tears fell down our fecades like a flood. This is when I burried my head into her chest and felt the flesh behind my teary blue eyes acknowledge that this had been her final rest while we covered her within six feet of Mother Earth's best. I dropped to my knees and cried as I tried to let go, but I couldn't even if you could. When this drama of life is over we may find that the ivory light will continue to shine through the ebony after the curtains close. Than and only than will we grasp onto the stories about a man that ascended into heaven and learn to believe that it was He that arose.
