Earrings

by Jane Jackson

Crying is not the only way
To keep your memories here today
But wear these earrings out tonight
And you shall find your thoughts alright

Climb on up the mountainside
Toss your jewels to the river wide
Look up to the stars above
And scream out what you really love

Now take these earrings in your hand
Plant these ornaments in the land
Make a grave about one foot deep
Thank the Lord, then sleep then sleep

Wake up with the morning dawn
That shines its light upon your lawn
Look at what has sprung up there
The earrings you once wore with care

See them rise up to the sun
Watch them cry and laugh for fun
You've been taken by your possessions
The Earth you know is marked deception

You feel pain and could be sick
You are the object of a ghostly trick
Take the dagger by your side
And show the world how you died

Something takes you by the arm
Shows affection, does not harm
Leads you into another world
Where lights are dim and life's unheard

Deep among these walls of Hell
You've got the urge to scream, to yell
For now you see the fire burning
That has your mind a spinning and turning

The devil seen in front of you
Is wearing the earrings you once knew
Take his fork and stick him true
See your ornaments shine on through

Quickly grab the jewels you love
And step up to the light above
Now you enter into day
Your memories return to you to stay

Remember now not to cry
Or you'll renew your dream tonight
For fantasies are alive in your dreams
And not meant to fill your schemes.

....dedicated to the memory of SI poster Tim Luke....
