A passing strange parade

They are gone from me.
Bodies burnt or now decayed.
But still within my mind I see,
A passing strange parade.

Like attired in funeral dress.
With faded flowers loosely clasped.
They smile and grin in mock distress.
They know my time is passing fast.

In stained and yellow ragged shroud.
Silent, she waits and beckons me,
Tall , stately , meek yet proud
She is the only one I see.

Arthur, Very thought provoking..I'm wondering if the female here is in reference to your mother?  This one leaves me deep in thought...I enjoy being left to wonder.  Well done!  Nancy.

~I've loved you forever, in lifetimes before~

Very interesting Michael. You certainly seem to have a fascination with death these days. Get back in that MG and enjoy life      

Well written poem by the way

If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?
