Away Now You Depart From Me Poem by Moses Ocharo

Away now you depart from me
and mount the chariot heaven bound
you fleet in sleep, without a sound
gone forever, left me only your memory
and i know my tears hath in vain
as you hath both deaf and mute
left me hanging in half salute
to lull my heart that tears drain
but at last you can now rest
in peace, and forget all your sorrows
without a worry of todays and tomorrows
only rejoice with your family in jest
still i say your stay was too brief
and still i do suspend my disbelief.
