Kneeling here by this cold graveside,
Emotions like the swelling tide,
Rising with no reprieve or relief,
Threatening to drown me in this grief,
Beneath me lies an empty jar of clay,
Gone way too soon, taken away.
The cold January overcast sky,
Reflecting my spirit’s deepest sigh,
Leafless trees reach toward the skies
Like my prayers and silent cries,
Songbirds flit from tree to tree
Free of the emotions that trouble me.
It’s hard to believe that a year has passed,
How long will this dull ache last?
The whole world seems out of tune,
My only comfort, I’ll see you soon.
This is what my heart feels… Put so beautifully into words. Love you.
