Death
Death
a resurrection
The loving was consummated
A moment of joy you were born
Just as when you were conceived
love was there
A new life from a mother’s
nurturing womb
You let out a primal scream
Cried out at the top of your voice
The spirit of life
Then shrieked raised your voice
a second time
A note higher for life after death
Be known you acknowledged
The second coming a glorious
one transitioned by death
A seat in the waiting lobby
awaits you from your life’s
endeavors
Your loving of earthly everyday
chores kept you grounded
With your family and friends and
in the community
In your life’s calling
In your beloved extended family
The Tau Alpha Fraternity
You gave all you can give
to all who touched you
Reciprocated with love at all
times wholeheartedly
A kind loving soul you were
With your name in cartouche
A turn to step over the threshold
guaranteed in the scroll
Ensuring a new beginning
The continuing flight of a soul
naked now... this time
From your mortal material body
is once more released
into the air
A life force
That becomes one with the wind
The breath of a new life
A seeking of a new abode
Into an incarnation ever
immortal
From the primal scream love
a life masterly consummated
From a second shrieking cry
comes a resurrection at hand
rewarded by
Death

We love you Brod Buddy.
SAIL ON!
