My Heart Gently Weeps

My Heart Gently Weeps
As this year draws to its end, this feeling of // melancholy sweeps me by surprise. Images of acquaintances \\ and cousins I lost this year grinning at me. Depictions of lovers, // friends, my Mama, my brother, my niece I lost in the last two years \\ beaming at me. Clear images of my Papa and Mommy, the one // who raised me and others, who were very closed to me \\ I lost in the past are smiling at me. Some are dead, // some left. In remembering \\ them, my heart // gently weeps.
