In Rememberance of Love

White lilies draped

on wooden boxes, of despair.

Eyes solemn cast: to the earth.

As we remember those we love.

Tears too many,

shroud fragile forms.

Shattered and empty.

As petals fall,

like peaceful snow.

We remember our love:

whole long ago.

Sweetly rest

and heaven blest.

Safely home.
