Church bell tolls, tolls everywhere <br />Chaotic movement here and there <br />Stumbles, rumbles and grumbles; queer <br />Metallic sounds of the heart <br />Soul and body do part <br />The life that was is suddenly gone <br />Life is still <br />But still goes on <br />The life that was is suddenly still <br />Kwabena your body is still <br />But in our memory you go on <br />The love you showed <br />The souls you touched <br />The hymns you sung <br />Each act of yours still goes on <br />In our memory you live on <br />The seeds you sowed <br />The cloths you patched <br />The bells you rung <br />In our memory lives on <br />Forever, Eternal, each one lives on <br />Kwabena, Kwabena your death was queer <br />Kwabena you may not be here <br />But you are never gone <br />Though still, you still are <br />In our hearts, you still are<br /><br />Benjamin Paa Willie<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/suddenly-still/
