Moving On

Darkness cloaks the light of day
reveals a life, of lonely ways.

Whispered words, confess to mourning
welling tears, for you I'm yearning.

These silent pleas' shall go unheard
and fall to earth, like flightless birds.

A broken heart does seek relief
from tidal waves of crushing grief.

The life I knew, must be rebuilt
this moving on, is tinged with guilt.

For you and I, now cease to be
my future shrouded in mystery.

So hard to move on from grief. Let go of the guilt, our loved ones that have passed want us to live and laugh and love again.
