The fire consumes our souls
The wind spreads the fire
The earth catches the sparks
The water destroys the funeral pyre.

Whenever I die
I much rather they not cry.
Rather just goodbyes.
No pity, nor wonder why,
Just God opening their eyes.
English playright W H Auden
also poetized with his pen
Famed for his 'Stop the clock'
his.Funeral blues gave many a shock
Graveside so quiet
Tear laden relatives mourn
Today, heavy hearts
Tomorrow, spirits will lift
Whilst the living remember
weather-beaten sign
driven down in dying weeds
forsaken headstone
oh nameless, forgotten soul
the Savior knows who you are
I will wounded you
Start running because i'm here
I will take your life
You won't sense any soreness
Until you discontinue
Fortunately
I’ve been to
a few more funerals
since I turned sixty.
Fortunately, none
of them have been mine.

The breeze whispers
through bare trees
as the funeral procession
comes to a halt
tears fall silently
on crisp ground
Everyone is a child's child.
Everyone is grown some
little, some hardly at all.
Everyone is one
until they are none,
no more.
angry clouds crying
over freshly-prepared grave
soldier is home now
written July 8, 2021
Fire swiftly releases and
A soul flies free on its course;
The journey to afterlife,
Needs no vehicles.
Gosh-o-Roonies, said the Moonies,
Drag you out into the boonies
Watch you be cut up by loonies
Feed you to the starving goonies.
cloaked in sable and grey, birds strut heavily for a funeral march

You appear
In the story
As a character..
As an
Unpredictable
Sensing and
Free
Appearance of
Nothingness...
On the wind,a bell
Muffled from across the square
Music fills the air
The requiem starts
Faure's genius is heard
In every ear
We wake from the past, though not from sleep,
Where scattered images are a curse to keep.

dragging feeble feet
a silent walk to death's grasp
beaten under house
the last sigh escapes her lungs
whiskers shrivel as years pass
Tis the ashes of a boy,
of who was born too early.
Tis the boy who lived an hour;
so small and helpless.
In God he will survive.

the girl in the purple leotard
that everyone made fun of
until the accident
when they all went to the funeral
and pretended to cry
Form:
Someone paints over a masterpiece,
a funeral crashes a wedding,
our love slips on a banana peel,
and clouds get into my eyes.
How strident are their screams, 'Ceasefire!'
~ adding fuel to the funeral pyre ...
heaven is heavy
with the tears of angels
shed for falling stars...
pain's knocking at heavens' gates
asking for its toll of salt...
Sunset. Shadorma
Winter sun
On the coast of death
White coffins
In the bay
Hoisting sail for unknown seas
As darkness descends
