January

by niallkillian

You were so vivid on Saturday
I was listening to your song
the one about the space man
so strange and full of wonder

I’d been waiting for you for days
to hear what you had to tell me
this time could be the last
I hoped like crazy that it wasn’t

You sounded lively and electric
new things and places to explore
a jewelled skull on a faraway world
clear signal to the initiate one

Then you were gone on Sunday
I was listening to your song
the one which became a farewell
so quiet and yet full of wonder
