All and Sundry

All and Sundry

They all went through my life so fast
I thought they would stay from first to last
Given the present they soon became past
Relegated to memories of having a blast
Brothers, lovers, wives and mothers
Sisters, sons, daughters and fathers
All one act plays of fleeting cast
Something about myself
As the ship sails
I watch the mast
Caught up in the friggin' rigging
I suppose you could see it coming
On life's horizon
Where the moment is vast
While standing still
In the middle of it
All aghast
As everything sinks
In a colorful mess
And flesh stinks
A rotting cess
Crawling toward extinction
This
Is the brightest outcome
Yet laugh I will
When tears erupt
Volcanoes and beans spill
All to make life worth living

Charge

Charge God wants me By his side But needs my wife's Permission Only then will come the decision To carry me off On a pedestal Pulled by magnificent horses To the sky in my eye But let's not be blind She must come with me For she lives In my mind Forever
