And Thus The Surly Soul is Soothed. (A Eulogy.)

And Thus The Surly Soul is Soothed.
______________________________

He was a
Suitor of
Sorts..

Who sought
to sooth
the most
Unsuitable
Souls.

(in Hopes
someday
his surly
Soul would
thus be
Soothed.)
___

And while
Walking
Contradictions
have existed
Before..

None have
existed so
contrary
to The
General
Mood!

___

He asked
me Not to
Speak upon
his Grave..

nor allow sad
kin to rush
his coffin
in Mournful
Tides.

Yet I cannot
Fathom sitting
idly By!...
(with Nothing
to Say.)

Therefore I
Preach
to All.
(in whom I
can confide.)

___

Cling not
(My Friends)
to Wasted
Hatreds..

When Life
is Fresh
in Constant
Bloom..

but spend
Each Day
as if it's
Sacred!

(and thus
The Surly
Soul shall
then Be
Soothed.)
