Pacification - 3WW - CXC (dread, grasp, pacify)

Pacify your sense of dread
with a trip within your mind
lost in peaceful solitude
your troubles left behind

Quench your thirst for freedom
with a dance of terse sensation
climb the walled crescendo
in unbridled exaltation

Grasp the feeding ring of fire
with hands of tempered steel
lose your thoughts of memory
and trust your instincts' feel

RIP RPF - 3WW - CLXXXVIII (escape, hum, vibrant )

Escape at last, my friend -
though beyond my reach
still within the very hum
of a life once in tune

The very presence of your absence
a companion to my mourning
lost in the gray of sadness
the vibrant colors of memory

Profoundly sad and truly lost
the loved ones walk the day
searching for the answers
far too difficult to say

To dream...
To find those yesterdays
on which to base tomorrow's
song

Sleep well, brother.
