Cold rain keep on falling
Never ceasing not abating
Drenching my very soul
Kept secret in the shadow
Under that moon less night
I feel nothing but fright
The leaves look gray and black
Slick beneath the dusty sky
In the twilight I cry
Clad in a sheer white gown
I am standing near this ground
The cold wind fills a brim
Chilling my inner being
The casket is an earthy bed
In that deep gauge I am led
There I am thinking to myself
That darn wind cuts like glass
This too will pass...
But why am I here
And why can't I hear
No smell no touch, only sight
Deep engaging insight
Alone in this place
I see a human face
A child holding a single rose
Near the casket there she pose
I can't make up the visage
She seems so young yet so sage
She bends and place that sweet flower
On top of the casket below her
From the shadow I recognize her
She is one of my daughters...
Alone she came, no one besides her
Her lovely face drenched with tears
Soaking the coat that she wears
Her countenance tells of the pain
She is enduring yet she remains
She is calling my name
She looks so sad who is to blame
'Mommy please tell me
Why did you leave me
I need you more than ever
Life without you I cannot bear
I love you so much Mommy
I want you to be near me'
I try to put my arm around her
All I want is to hold her
She pull away and shivers
Too 'darn' cold she whispers
Confusion sets for an instant
But only for a moment
The casket laid in that cold ground
Contain my flesh I am bound
To this loneliest place
The most dreadful I've ever faced
Under this moon less night
With no warmth and with no light
No companion for me to love
I am forsaken from above
In my final and dreary abode
My soul cringe and erode
I am losing my sanity
For this is eternity
I'd chose pleasure for a season
And rejected salvation
Now I suffer the consequence
Just payment for my offense
And the rain keeps on pouring
Never ceasing not abating.
