Weeping Words

I am writing with weeping words Weeping low, like the willow tree Branches fallen hiding the birds A veil of grief hides what I see Murder is a death so haunting Visions are clear as yesterday Screaming memories are daunting Engraved in the brain to this day I followed my promise to be Your voice, in the years to follow I spoke for you while I did flee The backlash was hard to swallow But, in these weeping words I say You will be with me, to the end When I am asked about that day I will speak of my special friend Heidi Sands 10/8/17
