Poem Title:
Poem
Just for a while, a candle glows; Each of us here for a short spell; Through tears and smiles, each act now flows To etch fond spheres in show and tell. We journey here to light a spark; Each tale said brief, then closure comes; Each step makes clear an exit mark; Accept that grief must square end sums. Dark is the night when lights go out; Let faith bring peace when hope seems lost; There is a light that bears harsh bout; Let love increase despite the costs. Know for certain that life goes on; Each soul finds rest in unknown shores; A cloud curtain hides what's beyond; Let ended quest bring peace and more. Our fallen dead feel hurts no more; Let silent sleep caress dear soul; Let go of dread as soul finds door; Yes we will weep for fractured whole. We bid farewell to this dear soul; We pray that grace will guide the way; Our thoughts now dwell on grief that holds Our kindred space in mourning days. A broken heart will heal in time; We sojourn here with kin and kind; As end imparts a loss of chime, Love we endear helps heal the mind. Death is a twin that walks with life; Know then that bliss waits beyond earth; By grace we win in spite of strife; Soul anchors this fact of re-birth. Pain floods our loss as death kills norm; Our loving lives beyond the grave; Our earthly dross with decay forms; Peace now relieves as heaven saves. Be of good cheer despite the tears; We'll meet again on better shores; Let hurts draw near to crush all fears; The dead lie slain to live once more. Each soul will rise like the Phoenix; Weep tears of joy for soul yet lives; Death's but disguise for splendour's fix: Life veils a ploy to truly give. Leon Enriquez 27 June 2014 Singapore
