Time For Bed

You closed your eyes and went to sleep
no questions asked or queries placed
with sudden ease your world fell still
and all around the sky fell down

sudden though this moment came
we held our strength through shards of tears
while angels hang their heads in grief
resolute are we, resistant victims

the sound of your blood softer became
veins that emptied with calm acceptance
and hands that held you lifelong near
now grasped the palms of broken hearts

You closed your eyes and went to sleep
that's what you did the day we wept
your beckoning calls, a better place
sleep tight if you may
with us by your side.


Rest in peace Uncle Bryan 1958-2012, say hello to everyone for me up there.  Know how loved you were; the kindest most sincere soul xxx
