Robert Lindley Poet Rhyme

Will She Shed Tears On My Headstone

Will She Shed Tears On My Headstone

When my ghost and I fade away
into earth's breast that final day
shall I rest in paradise hills
or as a fish among the rills
lay beneath blue of foaming seas
leaving these olden bones in me?

When this earthen spirit takes flight
flying from worry and world's blight
can looking back it then realize
life and love were the greatest prize
or would sorrows its sight then blind
love's sweet remnants from mortal mind.

When body is laid underground
music plays, yet heard is no sound
could her image and love give aid
to heal the wounds regrets have made?

When life flees and I rest alone. 
Will she shed tears on my headstone?

M. L. Kiser August 13, 2020 at 3:18 PM Beautiful sadness, I believe that life goes on and we are always in the hearts of those we love, who reciprocate that love, whether in this life or the next. Well penned. Robert Lindley August 18, 2020 at 5:14 AM Thank you my friend. I too believe that is the case. That those passed on--look back at those they love and pray for their well happiness and well being.. God bless..

Paul Callus August 10, 2020 at 12:56 PM Lovely with a doze of sadness, Robert. Such thoughts cannot be helped when we realize how quick time is going by, and what will happen once we depart. Pleased to see you back in action, my friend. Regards // paul Robert Lindley August 18, 2020 at 5:11 AM Thank you my friend. Yes, time flies as flaming arrow shot at the sinking red sun. God bless..
