A day to say I am sorry <br />A day to say I love you <br />A day filled with unending feelings <br />A day filled with chocked emotions <br />Yielding myself to showers of tears <br /> <br />The shortness of life yields to death <br />Not allowing us to gauge every friendship <br />Not allowing us to give thanks for the memories <br />Giving us to retain <br />The Mythical <br />The magical <br />Thought of all this <br />But can I feel solemnity <br />A voice screams <br />Tribute Tribute <br />Inside of me <br />The screaming battles <br />With the burning devils from hell <br />Cannot be heard <br /> <br />Pacify me and cool my thoughts <br />With your comfort <br /> <br />The place where you will go <br />Absence of conflict and strife <br /> <br />The sun will shine again <br />Leaving behind the black and white <br />Vivid colors of an intangible arch <br />Stemming from the last down pour of tears <br />A distant rainbow belonging to you <br />Begging me to run through <br />Fickle threads catching <br />Raining colors of your love <br /> <br />From your absence <br />Voids, hollowness, and distressed wounds <br />Are being stitched shut <br />Smoothing healing balm <br />Covers like a blanket <br />Keeping you alive within me forever.<br /><br />Howard Johnson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/funeral-eulogy/
