Can You Tell Me Why? In Memory of Benjamin Keough R.I.P.

Can You Tell Me Why?

Can you tell me why this came?

This horrible day so full of pain?

This thing so terrible

It has no name

Can you tell me why?

Can you tell me where to go?

I have no answers and I need to know

I can't even see

Which way to go 

Can you tell me why?

Can you tell me how to stop?

This time that broke me and the clock?

It's frozen in time

And it's all I've got

Can you tell me why?

Maybe  "Why" is not the right question

Maybe " How" is not even close

Maybe " Someday" is all I'll ever get

Maybe I'll have to accept "I Don't Know."

I've searched my mind and I've searched my heart

And torn my memory book apart

That the End has come now when the Beginning should start

Can you tell me why?

Grief, it is an angry thing

It steals your joy like a hawk on the wing

It swoops down and grabs you and forbids you to sing

Can you tell me why?

These questions come from my sorrowing soul

Down where it's dark and deep and cold

My beloved will never be, like me, growing old

Can you tell me why?

I didn't think so.

Benjamin and his Dad, Danny

Nothing Takes The Place of You

At Last

At Last

Nestled in

Our solitude

Like baby birds in downy nest

We croon to one another's tune

And sing our solaced hearts to rest.

Too many nights on rain-hued streets

So many days in sunless cloud

We crept alone like key-less thieves

And cried inside and not aloud.

Seeking for a silver lining

Begging for a bowl to fill

Looking for a life, untarnished

And love received, believed and real.

For in the dark woods of the memory

Was there we lost the taste of good

And wandered lonely....... homeless gypsies

Hunting love like it was food.

Until we stumbled

On one another

Until we fell in desperate grasp

In empty arms that bade us welcome

And made for us a home at last.

Now there's no need for consolation

Regret, or time to mourn the lack

We lost our lives on haunted highways

And love has given our lives back.

And it is here

We'll dwell forever

To savor all the joy we've found

Like birds that sail on winds eternal

Our feet no more, to scrape the ground.
