- Weep -

      - "I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free." - 
                                           Michelangelo 


                                      Among crimson flowers
                               and sunsets in brushed calendulas
                               My imagination will not be denied
                              even though I am scared and alone
                                      among the fallen ribbons
                                   Where grief is a heavy chain
                                  Iron reflects on innocent earth

                                  Weep - silent tears at the grave
                                         - set the angels free

                            An angel chiseled in shining white marble
                                      Characterized by silence
                                          Weep as a thin veil,
                         otherworldly beauty in a blessed resting place
                                 Seeking comfort under own wings
                                 A divine place for tears and prayer
                             which brings sanity back to normal level

                                   Weep - a weight from the past
                                           - set the angels free
