Silence & Forgiveness

The silence is too much to bear,

It's far too cold and desolate...

I yearn for warmth and peace,

For mercy, and for release...

I don't know where this was supposed to lead--

For destruction, or for healing--

But this I know now:

He is gone, he is gone,

Gone to Mary Jane's home,

Smokin' his joint to heavenly abode--

God have mercy on his soul...

& God have mercy on me--

I will forgive and let live...
