Donations are essential to keep Write Out Loud going    

the send-off

the fragrance of flowers 

gently touched 

by the cemetery breeze

celebrate the silence 

of life being released

 

the colors of nature

gather around 

that piece of earth

cradling every moment

of time since birth

 

dark figures fade out

with memories 

replaying in their heads

as the day ends, yet again

death is fed

IMO - a touch of splendour in thoughts beautifully considered and words artfully expressed.

A difficult one to talk about but very well put. ?

A fantastically appropriate piece for these times we are all currently going through Nitya. I like the way you've arranged this poem. It's an insightful contemplation of nature & fragility of life.
