A One Word Poem

Death

With an ending of breath

With a cry of mother’s tears

With a reason unknown

Death became

With loved ones surrounding

With stories of glory

With time as a bandage

Death became

With quiet and song

With candles burning bright

With hands outstretched

Death became

With sun through the grey

With peace near the grass

With heaven above

Death became Life

I missed the online poetry course I'm taking this week and am slowly catching up.  As part of our assignments, we were to write a poem based on one word from our list of words we gathered earlier.  Death was on my list and it became my word for the poem.    The last eight days are in the past and we must now push forward and greet each day for the gift it is.   I hope you will greet this weekend with smiles and wrap your arms around those you love and care for.   We all need to feel loved and we all need to show our love to others.
