since he has left there's been much contemplation
regarding things I cannot comprehend
the silent dark of my own destination
the afterwards defying comprehension
that place we go, eternity to spend
since he has left there's been much contemplation
my reasoning is met with much frustration
to overcome my mind must learn to bend
the silent dark of my own destination
cannot be verified by observation
examination ceases past one's end
since he has left there's been much contemplation
the memories of him are veneration
my thoughts, to shreds my heart, do always rend
the silent dark of my own destination
has now become my full-time occupation
no one returns from death where life does send
since he has left there's been much contemplation
the silent dark of my own destination
(C)2010, Christos Rigakos
