The Weeping

And so begins the weeping, The weeping that comes in waves; Waves that crash in evening tide To begin the sorrows fade. And yet in sorrow I sit, Melancholy under night; Night whose air reminds me still That remembrance is the light. And who shall be the teller, The meter for this old song? Sung in whispers meant for none, Save for those who may belong. On air and breeze cries carry, Yet alone they reach the sea. And I endure their telling As the waves crash over me. C.L.Baker©2013
