Peri uncle

For our dearest Peri Uncle

'Out, out, brief candle.'
Thank you for your light
May you rest in peace, always

Blessed are we
Who have been touched by you.
In your passing you have shown us
How to live.
Giving of yourself, all your life,
To the temple, your family, your friends,
A beaming smile, a little joke for everyone,
You made us feel special
Just by being you.

You left too soon.

Too soon, to say
Goodbye.
And now there is a gaping space
In the world, in your shape,
We sit numb.
Yet, you are all around us now,
You see us
Shedding silent tears
Over cups of coffee,
Remembering you.

You must know.

We love you.
We will miss you.
May God Bless you.

,,,,,,

Why so fast
Dear uncle?
A smile for every person
A kind word for each one
I hear you say my name
In a way only you can and do.

Could. did.

My dad's good friend
On trips to desaru. You
Taught us friendship fun love

Two stellar boys
The comic epic couple
Ribbing one another
Love

How could it be
Just the news of 6 months
Sent you
Our lion
To speedy close in 6 days?
Philosopher you.
What is 6 days week months
6 seconds is enough
And poof
You are gone
And we watch that space
Gaping
Holding our hearts wrenched from us by your passing

The set of friends here
Now slowly gathering
There
Meena aunty
Meyyappan uncle
Peri uncle

Slowly all going going gone

-----
Line to add

You left too soon
Too soon
To say goodbye

And now there is a gaping hole
In this world
In your shape

Unfillable
For you were a giant of  a man
