See Ya Sammy

7/20/2011

Life is precious, epic in its triumphs and its let downs.
The smiles, they turn to frowns, back to smiles, such a sad clown.
Desperately needed cycles, for depth, richness, and self-progress,
A cry so we can laugh and dance, the tears are paying homage.

And through the through, the fluctuations, friends are allies through it.
Energy between connected, though sometimes we never knew it.
Brothers and sisters, walking, stumble, help you up, keep movement.
Witness the growth, the pain, the love, away for years, yet fluent.

And times some fall, too soon for sure, the knife it strikes, it kicks us all,
And time it creeps into our hearts, nostalgia soaked, with feelings stark.

Confusion swirls, the weeds un-kept,
And sweet songs find their needs unmet.
We lose our beat, a lonely sleep,
Potential gone, no food, no eat.

Then flowers come, or scattered wind,
With soulful words, we'll hear again.
A sadness with a hint of cheer,
For passed on greatness, drinks are dear.
There's celebration for the time,
We had before the Great Unwind.
Yet missing from reunion's gladness,
A Member of our summer's madness.

Truly the dance is different now,
As we soak in our peaceful pal.
I'll take a piece and one for you,
To honor spirits that we knew.
That we know, and be better for it,
Reminded of the winter forecast,
That life is full of fluctuations,
Robust today, then shriveled raisins.

Still hurtful as this transition is,
I'll live my life like it was mine, and his.


In memory of Sam McNulty... One dope dude.
