Notes About The Poem

On Higher Ground

The final words were spoken
Honoring his life on this earth
So many kind hearts were broken
The day they laid his body to rest
~
Whispers of regrets were muttered
Behind most compassionate glimpses
Thoughts of heaven were soon uttered
As grief gripped the souls at the grave
~
Soft winds of melancholy blew in the air
Leaving feelings of desolation and dread
Accompanying their hearts burning prayer
For a happy home awaiting his gentle spirit
~
Although his body will soon decay and rot
There is no doubt he was very deeply loved
Someone who God assuredly had sought
To become an angel up on the higher ground






Dedicated to “Luke Hill”, who died on September 21, 2020 at the age of 39 – May God take better care of him than he did himself.

Gershon Wolf September 26, 2020 at 8:14 PM This is 'decay' at its finest. I love how you did this in the quatrain form, and how you ended on the uplifting important final note that the soul is free at last. A FAVE for me, Regina. Thank you so much, Gershon
