Moss

Moss learned how to soften its voice for grief.
A respectful stoic shade who honors family.
Moss covers the stones.
Moss covers the scars.
This green loves what was left behind.
And comforts weary hearts. 
Moss is found in places of damp.
Full of names sunken in earth.
This green can hold your tears with no spills. A green that puts healing first. 
Moss is a shade empathetic to pain,
A green who encourages to heal.
A quiet release from shattered tears
That only Moss can feel.
