Colours of bereavement

This was one of the first songs I wrote. My mother is a poet and oringally wrote this as a poem which I took, made some changes and turned it into a song. She approved of the changes I made as I made the song my own. In one time or another we all go through losing a family member and when I was 16 I lost my father and the poem really puts things into prepective to everyone even if you haven't lost someone in your life yet.


   

Colours of Bereavement

 

The skies around me darkens

Blacks and greys surround me.

Time stands still as I drown,

Drowning in my own grief...

Living in this one moment

The colours change again.

That’s what happens when someone dies

The light...

The light is changing again.

It’s bearing down on me...

Peeping though the stormy skies

The blacks fade in to blues.

Of the bruises on my heart,

Will these ever heal in time???

Living in this on moment

The colours change again.

That’s what happens when someone dies

The light...

The light is changing again.

It’s bearing down on me...

Green… Red… reflect on my eyes

As other colours come in to view.

Brighter tones shine upon my face,

Shadows of the day fade away...

Once living in that moment

The colours now consume me.

Is this what happens when death is gone

The light...

The light now blinds my eyes...

No longer will I fear you...

The white light...

Shining bright...

Bearing colours...

Colour of pain...

Colour of joy...

Colour of bereavement...
