You say hello to evening
as welcoming a friend.
The light has had it’s turn
the day has found it’s end.
It’s time to close your eyes,
to rest in dreamless sleep.
I know love never dies
but unashamed, I weep.
You smile in sweet repose,
adorned in silk and lace,
as one who really knows
you’ll see your bridegroom’s face.
In shadows I remain
and watch you as you fly,
yet choked with lonely pain,
to watch my Mother die.
(c) 2010 Jane Clark
Just been reading through your poems. Quite inspirational. One thing I noted was you love writing about the unspoken thought that the eye sees. Will be back to read some more.
