Bury Me on a Cloudy Day

a poem written upon my cousins death

Bury me on a Cloudy Day;

beneath an old Oak Tree.

Let it rain throughout the night,

wash the errant pains.

Burn me on a Winter’s Night;

let fires warm my soul.

Blame the tears on Wayward Smoke,

feel my one last kiss.

Eulogize my life in Prose;

weep in poetry.

Sing Songs! Both Happy and Sad,

loud and out of key.

Time for sleep, my Coffin Deep;

no words left to speak.

Years Behind and Years ahead,

I will wait for you.

Bury me on a Cloudy Day;

Burn me on a Winter’s Night.
