Be That As It May
It's never "goodbye",
it's "'til we meet again".
I don't know how this works
but I'm sure it wasn't
supposed to be like it now is.
Your troubled times are long past
and maybe mine are starting
up again, but Nick Cave
once sang "Death Is Not The End"
and that's how I keep your memory.
Everyone's got their words
of wisdom, for solace, for grace,
but none speak as loudly
as you lived. If we let things be
it isn't to forget, but to accept
that one day death will call
whether we're ready or otherwise.
If we let them be, are we
inviting ourselves to be hunted,
tormented? Or is the ghost
benevolent? All these questions
unfulfilled until after the fact.
Be that as it may, I
still look toward tomorrow's light
shining on me, leading me on
until we find out where and
when we'll meet again.
