Elegy For Alice
Elegy for Alice
Reverent black stillness
Hushes the dawn
Emptiness waits
In quiet fields
Long shadows of memories
Fall on Alices grave
Birds chorus incantations
Trees reach prayers skyward
Sad reveries veil a daughters mourning
Light lifts the night's black curtain
Regrets fall to the forgiving soil
Flowers open to catch the tears
A procession of friends
Lead the grieving daughter home
