The Wake
that balmy sky did everything it could
to try and draw our attention
clouds were discarded, rain postponed
we were busy with our final goodbyes
fine spirits melded with the past
revealing a serious lapse in character
the roar from a jet plane cracked the heavens
sending thoughts and eyes skyward
personal conflicts nearly eclipsed
the sparkle of this one particular star
a celestial headstone that on this night
shined brighter than the rest
