You see, my mule don't like people laughing. It gives him the crazy idea you're laughing at him.

As I walk into this place,
I feel the emptiness upon me.
I look around for a familiar face--
but no one surronds me.

It hit me, then as I stood
On this saddened ground.
I fell to my knees, as I should,
Crying when I'm down.

I picture eyes golden brown
Happy as can be. I
Whisper him a quiet sound--
A Silent Melody.

Now I lay all alone
Not knowing what to do.
This place that is my home
Is lonely without you.

The author's comments:
What has inspired this piece, is the loneliness of death. Death is all around us, and we cannot escape from its evil clutches.
