Poetry: In memory of a loved one

by Ashley D'Elia

Created on: August 12, 2008

The wind rolls through the trees
The rain softly falls to the ground
The clouds float in the grey sky
Everything cries with you
Mourning your loss
Just as the thunder and lightning cascade across the sky
The clouds part, and the sun shines down
Your tears sparkle on your visage
The wind gently blows to dry your sadness away
A leaf kisses your cheek, as if consoling your woe
A hand, you attest, was carressing your hair
But your own reaches up to find none
The storm had retired, and the sun shone exultantly
A rainbow tauten across the clear sky gives you hope
Though breathless she lies, in eternal slumber
Her soul lives on, subsistently in yours
To guide her little girl
Through this callously cold world
