A Poem for Lisa
A dear friend of mine lost her Daddy today after a long illness. She is heartbroken. I didn’t quite know what to say, so I wrote it in a poem. I hope it helps her.

Going Home
timing and options unacceptable home from the marching a message inside which is that? why not cut it clearly in the morning hush of yesterday i am once again in the wrong direction on to the sky or do we grow i considered that which i have received the harder to balance oh i wish it anything but far far away i will be in my bitterness standing tall head high eyes closed in case the circle a slowly expanding cloud goes to nothing the last order i won’t let it oh i have taken the blow © 2013 J.H.

Mr. Reaper
walked right beside you
all of these days
planning your life
knowing your demise
lay within my reach
be comfortable
my friend
though they mourn
enjoy your rest
before the long
journey begins
safely to the ground
gone but
still here
with me
by your side
to guide
they see me here
your friends
and lovers
don’t believe
we’ve met
they’ll say
oh but we have
i walk along
in the shadows
meek and mild
ever the
gentleman
in a cloak
of silence
have no
fear
I’m always
near
hold my hand
off to
the promised
land © 2010 J.H. Originally Published at pearljam.com

Aside
Outside the Night
did you notice the night?
i fell right through your eyes
to take everything
i fell right through the wormhole
just to hear a memory
fascinated by the gallows
the shape is produced
but the setting escapes me
stand outside
to take my stand
hoping
should we fear to look?
or reality?
when its raining
let go to make new ghosts
open the wind and rain
with the hourglass they stand
just to wait and see
if i care
