Bones Ache Yet Heart Sings

  
"Grief and heartache are like ocean waves, at times 
calm, and at times the waves are crashing and roaring."

                                                    Quote by _Constance

                        Bones, bones, bones,
            the decayed relics of my loved;
and though there is no wind-  it still moans, moans,
in the graveyard where I weep the dear-loved.
                        This grief I cannot shake,
I am wrapped in anguish and deep heartache;
each treasure of theirs-  now my own keepsake.
      I must must must,
            transcend this grief and in God trust;
                          for in time, I will be dust.
Walking through the graveyard I read the stones,
            birds serenade from trees above;
      and I thank God for each new daybreak,
as I hum a lullaby song for those who are only dust.

Sotto Poet June 22, 2023 at 12:13 PM Only a masterful artist like Constance could produce such a magnificent poem. It is a remarkable gift to convey the profound emotions that one can endure while remaining resolute in strength. I am enamored by your exquisite verse, and the seamless rhythm only enhances its beauty. Is it another version of the fragmented rhyme, please? Constance La France June 22, 2023 at 12:53 PM Sotto, thank you so much for the compliment on my poem and my writing, yes, it is another version of fragmented rhyme !
