A New Home Concluded

In Heaven
You're in a better home. 
There are no vicious attacks there 
but beautiful angels sing.

Assured by the florist.
Roses have no thorns,
sorrow is always banished,
discomfort exists not more.
The weather is always mild
and butterflies abound,
flowers produce perfume,
pollen clogs no lungs.

Down here the thunder rumbles
the storm distorts the roads.
Birds hide in their wobbly nests,
fog oppresses our chests.
Still we leave some flowers
beside your cold memorial stone.
Then we tramp back home 
across the snowy moor.
Sad but consoled.

It's always so sad for those that are left behind Victor, the only consolation we have is that they are at peace. Tom

Oh my, this is such a deep and heartfelt poem dear Victor.. True, heaven is the most beautiful and final home that can give solace to our souls.. Where there are no conspiracies or vicious attacks.. And every heart lives in peace, within the embrace of Almighty. But those, who are left behind, live with a perpetual ache and a grief that lives in us forever..That last line really reflects how loss of loved ones brings tears but also, their memories console us in some way..A FAV this is, so moving
