The re-blog option is not working at present, so I have copied and pasted the below which I very much like. It is by Robbrownaswood, who can be found at ‘The ramblings of a dire strait man’. A highly recommended read it is too.
The original post can be found by clicking upon the title below.
And I’m gone, long gone.
Say goodbye to the earth and the sun.
Say farewell to the lonely ones.
Who have nothing to give but their hearts and their smiles.
And we’re long, long gone.
To the edge of the universe.
To see what we’re worth.
Maybe a bag full of rupees or a box of coins.
A treasure chest hiding in sunny shores.
Pirates and booty and deep ocean waves.
Adventure time and spelunking in caves.
That skull mountain don’t scare me at all.
We have to be brave cause our time is so small.
And I’m gone, long gone.
Say goodbye to the earth and the sun.
Say farewell to the lonely ones.
Who have nothing to give but their hearts and their smiles.
And we’re long, long gone.
To the edge of the universe.
To see what we’re worth.
We’ll travel the world and fly up above.
Moles on the ground and pigs in space.
We’ll fill up on laughter and fun.
We don’t have much room so don’t tell anyone.
Such a cosmic journey and now it’s begun.
Gone, long gone.
Keep it a secret don’t tell anyone.
And we’re gone…long gone.
Say goodbye to the earth and come along.
Time to leave the third rock from the sun.

Well chosen, and timely. May they rest in peace.

I hadn’t actually thought of that at all when I posted the lines. But I do see a connection now. And yes, absolutely, may they rest in peace, and all who knew them find some peace of their own eventually.

I am lost there, but you’re usually faster on the uptake than I H, so fill me in with the link smiles

Ah well, it was simply that this line from the poem evoked the tragedy of last week, along with the title, the refrain, the timing of the posting, and the imagery I projected into the work too of course. I was quite unsure as to whether you had indeed intended to reference the air disaster, though it seemed to amount to that in my imagination.

Ah, yes I get you, I was thinking there was a connection to another skull mountain in literature, or in films perhaps that I was missing. I often look too far for that which is actually under my nose. smiles
