Rest Sweet Soul
from How To Die Laughing

REST SWEET SOUL
Rest Sweet Soul That sowed joy and showed love Showered affection and glowed like lit silk You were never driven by creed or by speed Or spoiled by desire or sorrow For your place was a lullaby cooing me into slumber A somnolent cradle song that would send me away Away to the sandman and into the realm of dreams Teasing, pleasing, uneasy maybe crazy dreams

To rest our own sweet souls Eternal melody atoning The certainty Of departure And return
