Fallen In December

you scrounger
forthcoming
yet again
in this cold
december air
to pilfer another life
from those of us
already impaired
of holiday spirit

to reiterate
your power
make us fall
on bended knees
once again
kissing lips
forevermore
silenced

make our tears
descend in hopeless trails
as we question our faith
while icicles shatter
like daggers
against our hearts

this air we breathe
a constant reminder
of your tally
as we choke
on disbelief
of another gone
from our reach

When someone in my life passes away, and people ask me how I can smile and laugh. I tell them this... I don't believe death is the end of ones existence. It's just a doorway unto the next life, a better life. Yes, it still hurts, to lose them here on this plane of existence, but I choose to remember and celebrate the good thier lives brought into my world, because of that I can't be saddened for long. But I'm weird anyway so... I am however sorry for your loss hugs...

The loss of a loved one certainly casts gloom on your life, you feel it more in the dark and dreary months. Tom

i already didn't care for the season as the scars always remain and the family gets smaller and smaller... but death so close...a funeral a week away from Christmas, how can one want to celebrate and be cheery? thank you my friend!
