Infinitude

Tears of dismay in 
A shroud that slowly withers
Absence overshadows while 
Her life shatters. Love 
Was stolen, a heart broken
As pursed lips sadly quiver

An infinitude 
Of sorrow, death has stolen
Whilst the holy earth has claimed 
A light refection 
That believed and inspired, now 
An infinity of light

I don't believe I have ever before contemplated the word, 'infinitude' and I'm so happy it was brought to imagination's attention via such a tightly held flowing poem. Poetry hugs ... CayCay
