Leaves of Life

We mourn the death of those
who through a season shared,
wept the morning dews,
their white veined fingers
wave at the rain, snickering,
cling through the breaths
     of gnashed clouds.
Then, each singular body falls
and becomes one pile of many,
like griefs we labor to endure
become memories of many lost
yet never truly...gone.

they dance, in the frames of mind, golden lapses of time, momentarily grounded, renewed and vibrant, before the numbness settles back in, burying them in depths of colorless hues....i like you penning Craig ...your writing always amazes me.... hugs :)
