put it to the wind let it blow away

watch it float away not enough

fingers on hands to count all

the funerals I been fried chicken

and potato salad on a paper plate

a piece of lemon cake it all 

looks good but i can't eat a bite

and I can't say goodbye no

matter how hard i try not to cry

my eye don't obey the command

nor do they recognize the

authority to stop the rain 

can anybody tell me how to

stop the pain forever other 

than leaving the plane tired

of answering the call blocking

all the text don't wanna know

who's up next to hit a home run

taking off the shades to see 

another sunrise otherwise

what am I supposed to do

the living lives to see the dead

can't get the hurt out my head

the tea is bitter coffee 

gives me the jitters fix me 

a plate I'm bringing home

dinner in a foam hinge lid

container  I heard Dallas ate 

all the cake but that's okay 

saw him at the wake looking

like he could use the weight

I'm going to sleep today 

and when I awake I'll know

it's not all just a dream if it's 

not really real it feels real

to me living in a world of

so much pain and misery 

still there's a rainbow out

there somewhere for me until

then I'll be crying in a paper plate

making it rain on a piece of cake

I feel you, Immortal Wize. At 81, I was there some years ago. Cry and eat. In time, that plate will become a plate of Grace and those tears of love's grief, will become tears of beautiful keloid memories; and cake will be so sweet. Your spirit, I lift up! ONE. Peace and Love.
