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.
