on heavenly lands

for my dear Uncle Joe RIP FLY HIGH!!

He unlocks my mind

Makes me talk when I wish to remain quiet

It was a hard few days

After saying goodbye to my sweet Kiddo

February 6 made me say goodbye to my Uncle Joe

A fighter against ALS

The war was too big to fight alone

Still a warrior nonetheless

I got the message via Facebook messenger

Joe passed this morn

Tears spilled from my eyes

As a new earth is born

The old world dies away

Everything changed

Yet the sun still shined the same

The blackbird sat on the wire

The raven came to prepare me for a gray day

As the angel of death came to relieve the soldier helped him retire

As he ejects from the weakening shell beyond what remains

Flying high to the arms of divine grace

We were planning a surprise zoom for his February 9 birthday

Yet he already passed away

I knew this day would come

The moment I saw him in december 2019

I can feel these things it can make a soul weary and numb

I felt it in the online conversation  screen

The celestial feeling is a wave of sensation

Coming over me

He asked me to come by when he came by to Oakland

I was dealing with stuff

I didn't have the time

Now he has passed between stars and moonlight

too late to say goodbye

I know though he wouldnt want me to cry

for the body is just a shell

He flies high in the sky

free from that old hell

I believe he is healed

I wish there was a way to stop the sickest spell

Yet its not in our hands

All I can say is I hope now you are well

As you live now on heavenly lands

you will never be forgotten

as we go on so the story will tell

of a man with a memory everlasting as cotton

soft to the touch

like the fabric of our lives

loved so very much

just now in a place we just can't see with a human eye

still a black cat not afraid to die

on another plane living his 9th life.

in to the angel hands, now thriving on heavenly lands..
