Thompson Emate Poet Grook

The Eternal Journey

"The quiet waters buoy the boat of the departed."
                       - Quote by Poet

Separated from the body
The soul seeks an eternal refuge
Beyond borders
The soul sojourns to the celestial city
Silence walks through the door 
There’s a decline in the numbers that embark on dawn’s bus
Grief pervades the room 
Tributes speak volume 
The symphony ends
The epitaph mirrors the past.
