Flowers By Her Graveside

Premium Member At the Graveside of One Who Suffered
How shall I weep with those who mourn When I have sensed the sweeter breeze Wafting o'er the stones and through the trees Across the sealed bronzed lid of death-borne Sadness, yet eternal healing surely means The bereft of pain are free; The bereft of loss are free. And so am I who stands before the glaring pit Gazing into vast...

This winter day, I stand beside your weathered tomb- thick layered clouds of gray reflect a somber ambiance as unrelenting rain augments the ashen gloom. But there's no brighter joy through days of springtime radiance- for death remains as bleak in stirring drear experience.

Family Killed Me Before I Died
The little voice begging for love and freedom from classroom is mine I am a child Who harbours unspoken words and wavered feelings in my heart If you let my spirit out of this cage, a beautiful world I'll paint Now I am bound by chains of failure and mothers unemphatic nature Every invisible second steals a pint...

Graveside
I know you walked up the stairway to heaven that day. The clouds parted angels greeted and showed you the way. With the rain pouring down like teardrops to the ground. We didn't doubt for a second God wasnt around. He called your name and you heard him clear "come home my child do not fear." Take my hand...

Standing Graveside
As the cold winds blow I’ll love you eternal We’ve always been one In separating ways Here you will find me Anticipating my demise To see you again And say what I couldn’t Until that day I’ll wait rewriting Reciting apologetic excuses Here I stand Where the lifeless reside Letting the wintry winds gust Like a whip on my back Forgive me...

At the Graveside...
I held the strap taut, bowing down at the dirt, six feet or more, the rectangular hole, no sweetness or welcome, just earth on the lid where resided the bones of the previous soul. Lowered with care, my brother and I and two other bearers toiling behind, the cheap gleaming wood decked with cheap plastic brass, to a standstill of rest, to...
