Days After

Silence spoken for by the rain—
A missing space for the missing gold of sun,
As the wind breaks on song, his china fall—
There my eyes soak up the tears now that he's gone.

A missing space for the missing gold of sun,
Wordless whispers, never I hear, dead—
As the wind breaks on song, his china fall,
His image on my face, a welcome diversion—

Wordless whispers, never I hear, dead—
As the wind breaks on song, his china fall;
His image on my face, a welcome diversion—
Silence spoken for by the rain.


-This is written on how I feel now, days after my father's death. -

Dear Paige, your poem is hauntingly beautiful. The imagery of silence spoken by the rain and the missing space for the absent sun evokes a sense of longing and loss. The repetition and structure add depth to the emotions conveyed. Your words linger, capturing the essence of grief and the solace found in memories. This is a wonderful poem. Blessings, Daniel
