Queen in Passing

grave

Solemnity spoke

The night I prayed would never come

has whispered hallowed night

a reclamation of eternal earth

the kiss of chilled winds blight

The hands I loved have now succumbed

The fiery pyre take flesh from sight

a resolution to embrace rebirth

your angelic spirit take flight

    I just had an aunt and an uncle die. This poem is timely for me. It makes me face the pain yet feel somewhat comforted. I miss you.
