When the Chalk Dust Fades

A creative heart stopped beating, Its amazing potential has ceased. The sidewalk bears its final goodbye, Before it entered into peace. · Although your voice was silenced, You still speak to us through your art. The concrete still echoes the memories, That dwell within our hearts. · Loneliness speaks in volumes, In the chalk art you portray. And may the memories carry on, When the chalk dust fades away. __________________________ For Anna Mayall A wonderful student of art and poetry!
