Of Tears and Flowers
flowers scattered on the ground
mere wishes and dreams
as her eyes teared up
all the years together
he left to traverse the skies
as she struggled to breath
holding her sons together
two now as one had left
did her eldest went to prepare
for his father a seat at the table
or a mere coincidence
a victim of the silent crowned killers
Life's highways and freeways
had bruised their heels
they held together glued
by love's offspring
but now she said goodbye
behind the bars of a quarantine
while he left for his destination
bright day mocking their tears
farewell.
Job 1:21
And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD.

My sister's husband of 35 years died of covid19. My sister and her two sons were in quarantine. While a daughter was at home. They lost their eldest son to a stroke just a month before. RIP

Dust unto dust. Ravages of cancer and COVID which left so many people saying good-byes through window pains. Sad times we live in. Regards, Robert.

You find the delicate spirit and beauty that lies beyond tragedy when you pour from your pain. Beautifully struck.

Dear G,
This is a very touching poem. I’m very sorry for your losses. Sudden or otherwise, death is always a shock for me. I know it’s part of life and the great unknown and I take comfort from the Bible verse by Job and how you tied that into your gracious write. H🌷
