Mourning Bell
In the distance a lone bell sounds
breaking the silence of endless grief
while black silk this widow surrounds
my pale cheeks shown in stark relief
Like echoes of a whispered prayer
in the distance a lone bell sounds
as it keeps time with counted care
to footstep on these hollowed grounds
In deep relief, an angel crowns
a simple stone where love is drawn
In the distance a lone bell sounds
the tolling of a life now gone
This tear stained face will pain now trace
while all of hope in sorrow drowns
and listens with an ageless grace
in the distance a lone bell sounds
For the contest "If I had a broken heart"
My husband of almost 40 years died 5 yrs. ago...I will miss him always.
