From A Departed Friend Poem by Priti Pauline

Just because I've left my body
Does not mean I'm not by your side.
These past few months on a stormy ride
Coping with a wounded pride
And now I have died
There's nothing more to hide
Mother Earth opened wide
For me to leap and jump inside
And take a new job as your guide

I was your friend in Life and I shall be in death
Not so much changes in the exhaling of a breath
I am watching now without saying a word
And bow my head to all that's absurd
In deep acknowledgement of not being heard
& Acting as a flipping nerd
Prattling on like a twittering bird
& What can I say to you my dear?
I am listening now, and I'll lend you my ear
I don't doubt your love is sincere
I am with you so have no fear
Please don't cry, wipe away you tear

Enjoy life, each and every day
But do make sure you have a say
As a kind word never goes astray
Even if it's a yea or a nay
Don't ever bother who's to pay
Money will not keep at bay
Errors made for judgement day
No one's to blame
As I sit with the eternal flame
And see my life as a game
In which you all came
To play a part
In this world of exchange and mart
We're now off to the races and a brand new start
Do make sure you put the horse before the cart
As luck in life comes only from a good heart

Now it's time to say good bye
Where truth cannot lie
Not even if I were to die
I was not such a terrible guy
With whom you can still say Hi
Whilst eating yummy blueberry pie!
