Song of the Dead

The song of the dead

Whistles through the

Naked tree branches

Surrounding me

They echo the memories

Helping me to form their solemn elegy



Their whispers echo

In my rattling head

Drowning out confusion

With the song of the dead

Past becomes present

As they exit my mind

And leave me to suffer

With my song still to find
