No More Seen
Eyes have closed
The yard is empty now
except for a few
memories
lying captured in the grass
like flies in a spider's web
You'll never forget
the lazy summer days
of the bright colors of an
autumn evenings
spent here
amidst the grass
and the fallen leaves
Silence
and a thousand
tears cannot assuage
the pain
Sweet companionship
gone now
Conversations and
unanswered questions
gone into "the animal soup of time"
They've cut down the
old cherry tree
and my heart died with it
