Constance La France Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

In Tears of Silence

 

"in tears of silence
my grief comes as a whisper ...
a dagger of pain"

                            Quote Senryu - by Constance

                        My forever grief is now part of me,
            I wear this melancholy cloak each day;
my tears could fill each blue ocean and sea,
and I visit the dead with a bouquet. 
                        I recall in repose such a sweet girl,
my sister loved to swirl, whirl, leap and twirl;
but, one snow day her wings had to unfurl.
      Never will I let go of my truelove,
           gone to heaven to join my baby dove;
                        they wait for me in the beauty above.
My beautiful kind mother God set free,
            and with father they rest with trees that sway;
      each memory kept is a precious pearl,
            when my grandma's died- I lost deep pure love.
