Mike Gentile Poet Free verse

Of Those Who Loved Her

Lilting voice of tender carriage
          Defined her gentle being
 As time had not dismissed
            Her childlike charisma

Laughter often narrates thought
         When memories give rise
Recalling her demeanor
   In sweet tempered innocence

For in a world of dusk and gloom
          Her light, a shimmer fair
Would offer loving respite 
   From course of heart’s concern 
 
Though now her voice no longer
Carries forth the air we breathe
     It will surely live forever
In the care of those who loved her




Dedicated to my loving Godmother
who slipped away to sing elsewhere
