Welcome Home
My Agony
Bluebird
You
Every Day
If I should die tomorrow
would I ever see the light
Of life, or would death
Be as dark as night.
would the grey skies brighten
To a dazzling blue,
Would the grey trees smarten
To their greenest hue,
would grey grey roses
Turn to colours true,
Would my grey eyes
Turn blue for you
If I should die tomorrow?

If I should die today
Before my tongue could have its say,
Would the birds whistle a happy tune
Instead of deep black silence,
Would falling leaves rustle as soon
As they fell to ground from fence,
Would thunder crash its awesome notes
Pinpointing lightning a few miles hence,
Would my ears once more
Prick at the point of an opening door,
Would I hear again
A rushing train,
Would I hear all this
And much much more
If I should die today?

If I should die this very minute
would I remember life, and in it
All the things I love and hate,
Even though it were too late
To make amends and say how sad
I am, with heavy heart, for many things bad.
Would I soon be forgotten,
Or remembered for all things rotten
I've done or said or ever thought,
Would I be punished forever by God,
For his love I've never bought
With prayers and offerings,
If I should die this very minute?

If I am already dead
Then this is hell inside my head,
And my aching heart and numbing vein
Are hurting, driving spikes deep in my brain.
Is not death a nothingness,
A deep calm sleep,
A nothingness.
So please, why is my mind
A tortured, writhing mess.
If I am already dead?
