A Kinsman Passed

A kinsman passed 
Away last night
What sorrow and
Remorse we feel
It brings a tear
To know your
Not here
The poorer
We all are

A kinsman passed
My window
Last night
Her warmth and
Breath I felt
She flew on
To where
Crucibles don’t rumble
Our thoughts follow
In her draft

A kinsman passed
The gates
Last night
Into another verse
Joy and happiness
Are hers to behold
Forever she
Will last

A kinsman passed
Into his arms
Last night
How cruel it
All seems
To us
