No one wants to die and neither do I But when your time is coming you just know So I spent this Easter wondering why Waiting for stars watching the cars which go Around and around all seemingly bound For happy destinations far away From where I sat with the homeless out in The hub of the wheel of my town today
The stars never came the flickering flame Of my cheap lighter lighting cheap cigars Became the vigil light of lonely night Which came as a relief beyond the grief Of seeing happy families like these Making their fuss who looked askance at us The people like me with no family
Just a few broken friends with burnt-out ends Of smokes and bitter jokes about our lives And where we have been and what we have seen Of who we were once with children and wives
Only the lonely would know what we mean Here in this in-between of life and death Where some say we are punished for our sin My homeless friends with vodka on their breath No booze for me just the insanity Of cars without stars and some cheap cigars A kind fellow-wanderer shared with me
No one wants to die and neither do I But when your time is coming you just know So I spent this Easter wondering why With friends of mine out here before I go
Stevie this write is profoundly heartfelt, powerful, and beautiful.
Yet, I found such a sense of serenity, peace, and muted softness contained within.
Although some may not think that scene much but there was/is something to have centered yourself among the stars "Easter Before I Go". Hope you have been touched spiritually, emotionally, and physically renewed for the rest of the time with the many more blessed Easter's on your side!
Take care,

A people’s heart can be found in their poetic words. In history men and women have stood firmly upon their soapboxes and street corners, rallying the deepest beliefs of people to rise up and be heard. The poetrypages.com has offered that voice a new
