release
(for Jason Rasmus, aka J2)
life & death
& love’s caress
surround you like the air we breathe
brother, you are
love & laughter
frustration & fascination
caring & carefree
you are mythic in nature
oral tradition passing you on
from person to person to person
a way for your legend
(your legacy)
to live on in us
us, your family & family of friends
us, those still tethered to life
us, crying here on a mountaintop
because your breath has stopped
& ours continues on
us, sharing, compiling
your life into stories to tell
to remember
to smile
& laugh
us, now family to each other
made blood by the death
(of a legend)
and we release you
we
release
you
to the snow covered mountains and skateparks
up the mountain & to the sun
ride into the light
cross the river styx
be one with the spirit
join the shadow people
take a railslide
into your future of haunts
just be sure to know:
we love you
& we release you
