Not ev'ry action's sane. And here in saying now "Goodbye",
we know we need to groan and weep again
together as we gather, as we share the pain and cry
we know that things can't keep on just the same.
We won't say Things were good! where they were not.
We want to recognize what really was
reflecting much of good before the lot
was flattened to this darkness now because..
a body must be buried before rot
sets in; though some may think they saw rot there
when everything seemed fine (or it did not)
before life's seeds were growing fungal hair…
But most of all, my only chance and hope
I put in one (who David once pledged to)
who went through death and called it sleep to cope
with its disruptive pow-er, and who knew
what it could be used for in God's good scheme.
How it could be a start to some new day,
in company with who knows what life means,
it can reset. I think that's how he'd pray1.
And we're not trying to be David's judge.
Yeshua told of strange things to come, yet:
some enemies we thought would never budge
will join the feast with those who don't forget.
And others who claimed God as their best friend
might not show up at all - that's what he said.
So David's life is in God's hands. The end
and start of all that's human - live or dead..
