One More Touch

      


I guess there are no more
words left to say
inside it still hurts
that you're gone , I'm estranged
not part of this earth , off shore
you're somewhere far away
so for whatever it's worth , at all
tell me do I pray
is there another way
to reach beyond the ending
of life's  shallow grave
do we harbour this consciousness
do you remember my name
as it's a little hard , too much
when I feel such pain .


Maybe it's selfishness
the wanton , the need to touch
retention of atomic , cosmic dust
as humans we cling to energy
'til it rusts

just one more touch  .


Are there dimensional
crossing guards
to help you find
some safety in the stars
I hope you made it
wherever you are
are you an angel
spraying raindrops
from a golden harp , sprinkler
maybe a saint with a halo
all prismatic in colour

tell me  it's not , plainly
just
over .
