Tearless Memories
You reached for a cloud
on a sunny day
with no rain on the way
with clinched fists and fear
you feel no pain
Hearts sing in silence
grief without sound
and tearless memories
fill the empty wells
of our souls
Prayers rise up
and fall to an empty God
abandoned by the living
and reached for by the dead.
For my dear friend who took her own life this week, one year ago.
