John's p.o.v
Dreamlessly, you travel on the highway
Even as your hair begins to turn gray, you continue to be a ray of sunshine
A black and blue fray
Realm of uncertainty and false hope
The longest flight and extended vocation
Heaven's beckoning
Incoming freight train
Stages of sorrow and acceptance
Endless distance between us
A world without oxygen or daylight
Scarcely dark cemetery
Our collection of bones and ashes
Ninety different shades of love
Eighty empty vessels
Mighty strong arms
Baby angels
Red bleeding hearts
A dozen rosaries and silent prayers
Chasing life in the absence of noise
Echoes of your legacy and brief existence
