Mourning Motioned

Results restore, relieving remedy Steadying hopes, hollowing mopes Chairs emptied, weighted sheet Remembrances brightened, life faded A stiffening corpse; a diminishing soul. Patience' patient, praying promises Fluctuating lines, straining worry Clocks ticked, silenced moments Scents inhaled, senses scarred An ascending ward; an enclosing avenue. Dissuasive doubt, deceiving dread Strength surviving, breaths succumbing Knowing accepted, shielded blows Conclusions heard, pleas muffled An expecting outcome; an overwhelming expression. Passing passes, pacing plight Support soothing, spirits' ceasing Respects bound, softened faces Comfort surrounds, cushions displaced A mirroring grasp; a wavering mirage. Spoken speech, soaking smudges Tears draining, fears responding Distance grown, shoveled sympathies Togetherness wards, loneliness postponed A returning thought; a drowning realization.
