the sign read > FUNERAL > Come Any Time > Services Held Round the Clock. these days almost any attire will do for a funeral but out of respect she wore black from her head to her soul the gravesite was hastily prepared for it happened so suddenly she was taken quite unaware her footsteps faltered and stopped as she fought to hold on to something already gone but anger reached out slapped her in the face and pushed her through the door silence held her half the way there and sat in the seat beside her but for the service she took grief by the arm as she made her way down the aisle she needed, I guess, a bit of strength to view the deceased the burial was quick but she stayed until it was completely over afraid once again to face the door the headstone she thought unnecessary the words carved deep into her soul "herein lies my heart" [This message has been edited by Corazon (edited 06-19-2000).] |

as she fought to hold on to something already gone but anger reached out slapped her in the face and pushed her through the door silence held her half the way ------------------ afraid once again to face the door the headstone she thought unnecessary the words were carved deep into her soul "herein lies my heart" ---------------- the emotional metaphors and impact of this gave me a chill... written with a haunted ache excellent jm |

Wow Corazon ... I am in awe of this one! Truly a wonderful and though-provoking verse, where a second read catches a little twist my first read didn't ... really well done! Best wishes, /Kit |

Nicely done C. I liked the twists in it... "black from her head to her soul" and then of course the big final twist at the end  Eric. "We are the music makers and we are the makers of dreams." - Willy Wonka. |

Amazing imagery and such a well written poem had earlier gone unnoticed from my gaze, so ashamed I feel.... Anyway, Corazon, I hope you get what I mean.... regards, sudhir |
