Alive

Man of death

As dawn broke one day

No knock at the door

Cause he knew his way

He broke in

And a life ceased to be

It was her world

He did barge in

Her soul mate

Painfully met his fate

The hands of death

Pierced her heart

And out took a breath

A bleeding cry went far

Tore her whole apart

Aloud his name she called

“Come back my sole soul

In the world of mine

You are installed.

You are walking away

That early

And pieces of you and me

You are keeping at my bay."

Words of ache

Roared their way out

In vain.

Silence of death is around

Undefeatable and mighty

Will always death be

And everything here after is empty

Pieces of her

The blank inside

They fill

Into her heart

They put life

Her night they light

On her mouth

Laughter will gain place

Into her eyes

Love will shine

Hope will wipe grief out

And make her embrace life.

No one should ever Make you embrace life... It should be a willing and even joyful event. After so much sadness, there seemed little true time for grief. A warm gentle hug... from sisters to sisters... peaceful be your days. Ann (the very sweetest flowers picked in a land where no one cries)
