Field of Stone

She tries to remember 
His voice as she cries
Reflections of him
Can be seen in her eyes

Her memories betray her
With each passing day
Her smile, now broken
Has faded away

Her reason for living
Escapes her mind
She looks for a future
But none will she find

Her heart rendered worthless
It's shattered in two
One beat lay silent
The other askew

Her lover now sleeps
In a field of stone
As she's cursed to walk
This world all alone

Another tear jerker, Larry. Outstanding. Heavyhearted but beautifully written. Ralph

I saw Constance's comment, Larry, and I guess we both feel like this poem is the story of our lives. You can make us laugh with the best of them, Larry, but when you write serious poetry, I'm often in awe of your ability to evoke emotion. Blessings, Carolyn
