To Weep Tears

 
"A dagger of pain, a tear of grief."

                                       Quote by _Constance

I go to the forest where we once walked,
and stroll down the paths where we laughed and talked;
each time "to weep the tears that never learn" ...
in this place we loved my grief is unlocked !

Will always love you-  but now my thoughts turn,
to remembering Mom ... oh, how I yearn;
the pages of life flutter in the breeze ...
I can look back but can never return !

I read the beloved names under the trees,
and weep my great grief- falling to my knees; 
many, too many engraved names in stone ...
I come in Wintertime and my tears freeze !

I crying at night when I am alone,
and in my dreams your voices moan and groan;
for a thousand years and more I will mourn ... 
will not let go-   for my grief is moss-grown !
