Sailing Away
~
Floating in the in between
Each passing breath a brand new scene
I’m neither here nor am I there
I simply exist in open air
Deeply, deeply, let fill my lungs
Absorbing life as though a sponge
If I should die before you squeeze
The trigger of my silent pleas
My past will die, my future bleed
A broken promise of all decreed
And in my death let it be seen
That my life was naught but a dream
I rest in peace, accept my fate
The silent waves encapsulate
The light that once shone bright and strong
Now finds the river to sail upon

Yep, the perfect funeral poem. Really touching, great rhyming & end lines particularly.

Thank you, I have never had a poem compared to a car before.
That's really nice and I appreciate your kind comment so much.
