Ashes Over Kenosha By The Ravyn

eventually it will happen, love
you know as well as i
when it does i want no grieving
no final resting place, no flowers
take me up to our special place
just you and the girls
make small the fire and remember
the good times and the bad
the joy and the sorrow
then spread the ashes
over kenosha that i love
that i might ever linger there
whatever happens betwixt then and now
always remember that you, love
have brought unending happiness
to a soul shrouded in despair

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Until we meet again, Jenn.
The earth is richer for your love.
As are all your friends. Fly, now,
Jenn, until we all meet again.

*s* at you, jenn

i stumbled across this one last night as i was reading... thought it answered some questions that people had.. well ok, so it answered some of my questions.. hehe..
it is absolutely amazing the way her writings have changed to me now... not better and not worse.. but changed.. they have almost.. hmm.. how to say this... its like before i viewed all her scribbles in the morning, with the sun rising from my left, shadows slanting againt the western edges of the page...
and now its as if the shadows have tilted and im reading as the sun sets to my right... yea that would mean i was facing south to you weird people trying to figure it out.. hehe...
dont know how to explain it really...

i have no idea what you just said, Thief... :lol: but i do understand what you mean... everything has a double meaning; a kind of hindsight (or is it foresight?) on her part when she wrote it....
"To be one, to be united is a great thing. But to respect the right to be different is maybe even greater." -Bono (U2)

"You have no choice of subject matter. You write what's in your heart and on your mind unless of course it's crap in which case it means you've thought about it too much." -Bono
