Shalom audio single
Version 1
Version 2
A poem by me, Benjamin Robinson turned into a song with the help of AI.
Shalom,
shalom my childhood friend,
shalom,
although it has been far too long,
I wish I had seen you in life again,
but circumstance it has caused us to be worlds apart,
worlds apart because of your family,
your family moving to the other side of the world,
and though I had not seen you since we were younger,
I hope you were happy in your life,
and I wonder did you have a drink,
a drink at the end my friend,
and before the end did you walk the Earth,
and find such worth that filled your mind with inspiration, and that did encourage your imagination,
and did you live in luxury or did you make and mend,
and did you spend your time,
learning something new every day,
and did you learn of nature and of the beauty of its ways,
and did you camp out under the stars at night,
and enjoy the quiet of the time with the love of your life,
and did you appreciate the weather,
no matter the season and no matter what it threw your way,
and did you work too much,
or too little,
or not enough and both night and day,
for you were intelligent and witty,
and quick and with such repartee,
and today, in more recent times,
were you encouraging to the people that you met,
and did you always have something to say,
and did you always have a joke or two,
no matter the mood of the day,
and were you happy in life?
For when I look at you so peaceful in your casket,
your casket that is open to the day,
you look so peaceful and serene,
and in the brief moments with the people here,
and from what people have said,
I can imagine in life that was your nature,
and that cheerful was your way,
and upon that thought I will wish you farewell,
and shalom my friend,
and long may you spread cheer as you did at the beginning,
and long may you spread cheer as you did at the end,
and long may you spread cheer in heaven,
so, shalom my long lost, now sadly found childhood friend.
