Another Good-Bye

Her day bled
into a crimson sky
of mourning.
A moon overcast
with laments vision,
its reflection 
echoed in the surface
of borrowed time.
Now, quietly,
the long hours drew
nearer to the hush
of evenings passing---
sleep bidding
another farewell,
as the grave 
gives up its spirit
to enter into
a different realm---
vicariously
on the threshold
of dreamscapes view
and another
good-bye is said.

The bayou beckons with solemn mist. Reflecting what's so dearly missed. A stillness deep with in your soul. Slowly taking life's long toll. Before the next believer kneels. God's grace is there in all that heals. Peace Debra. :)
