ST49 ... a moments end...
a silence so loud....
Nothing lasts, not the womb with all its safety, the tobacco ceremony, the first kiss, the last breath. All my friends will perish, my family, my dear sisters, their children, my son, nothing stays still. All the aroma from your delicate skin, the nitemares on progress boulevard, the last toke from the ditch. Your sweet smile, your fake words, your silent eyes, it's all goin, gone, somewhere. I am still walking, the future has not sucked me in just yet but i feel its pull pulling me, I'm coming, i’m coming, give me a few more moments, i have things that need to be done….. like, there's a fire in the forest, the angels are dying in the air, there are debates unattended, the garden needs water, words are stumbling blind, my self is splitting into doubles, triples, i just want a few more hours with you, to explain, i never meant to do it, i don’t know what i was thinking, i was paranoid, i don’t want to die. I have nothing to live for, really, but i don’t want to go.. there. Nothing lasts everything passes, everything changes, i know, i know, but not today please, just let me catch my breath, i have something important to say, i think, i believe i've been mistaken. Is there just a little room left on the bus, I am already missing you, please take my hand. I have dreams undone, love waiting for forgiveness, i have your promises hanging on the doorknobs. I didn't mean to inconvenience you, i thought you were a freind, isn't that what friends do, help when there is no one else… remaining. Ok then. Im coming, it’s all over now, i knew you would show up. I just want to take a few whiffs of the last air, the last embrace, the last light. Eddy Walzak
Death / Passin Thru a Mind / another... Eddy Walzak In the early morning breeze by the darkside of the road friends slowly passing i wondered about life i looked death in the eye The grasses were green high full of life and beauty blossoms filled the trees like ornaments and i was young in mind across the fields of time tho friends were leaving i watched everything new and death touched my heart for a moment and the wind said it all and tears became as rain i held eternity for a moment as death walked slowly by In the darkness of the night when you shone your self my way i cried a tear and left behind the separation and distance between there was nothing to do but move along the narrow path that leads to you oh death what am i to do your silence, so loud my surrendering heart is yours i will not fight take me when you will I see you all around amidst the dreams and door ways your soft long hair your shallow curves upon your skin your eminent love surrounds me i have nothing but sweet words fading thru the day to say the things i never could while you were before me oh please shelter my friends my sisters my brothers take them under your arms hold them true thru the storm just for awhile as they catch their breath and then let them go, into the beauty and the silence of the long night I spoke to death about life what's it worth in the end and who cares... i got no answer i didn't care just carried on seeing, amazing hallways and pleasure and love and being for the sake of nothing feeling fine thru the fires In the winds of hope and the beauty of your breath i swam thru, over to the answers floating against the beach you reassured me that it's all good the conclusions destroying the mind of earth will subside, in time, for that is all it owns i walked thru your eyes of mystery protected in your soul and kissed you like you were the only one the only reality that loves me i felt like heaven for a few moments and thanked it all, while watching the river flow. You skip over things until you can't breathe the rooms turn upside down and you call out to the dreams that you once were and you try so hard to see what you can not the river keeps on going tho there is a whiter shade and you can feel it so you wander on to another shore it all falls to pieces by the side of the tale death keeps on comin on, no matter what you do beauty keeps on seeping in and you just keep watching the river flow
I screamed at death but it didn’t give a damn, took me by the throat and said ‘hey boy, you could have been a somebody, how many chances do you need, now take this last kiss and spread it over your shadowy tomb…. you’ve been a somebody you’ll never know’ and that was that, she left me scratching at the air for another breath, and here i am, dancing along another shore.

Hey, one last thing…. got a spare dream, a light, a clear ear?
"Death, You used to hang around my left shoulder, I could catch a glimpse of you if my glance was furtive enough between sigh-full, moments of living
A few years ago You walked up beside me and said, "let's go a ways together, shall we"
and now, we're more honest with each other and no longer debate about that grain of sand or
the Expanse of the Universe,
we're more like brothers discussing adventures in that far off land
and the Party that Dad promised when we Return Home"
Yes, death comes to us all, and we approach with hesitation or surrender. Unless it taps us on the shoulder in surprise. I wonder how, who and where and then let it go. Life is too valuable to spend it un-present, unaware or without as much joy as is available. What is past is gone. The memories and heartfelt moments are building both a cage and a palace to reside within. Keep the windows open !
