Forsaken


Dear Children, it is time to go
Dry your tears, bid adieu
She will not come… call no more
Silence greets us yet once more.
Reason knows not why it is so
Of love and loved ones she let go.
Lost is she to our cry and plea
Lost forever to us … Oh! Lost are we.


Once there was nought but harmony,
We thought ‘twould be so for eternity;
‘Twas heaven to be in her embrace
In her gentle touch such solace
Her voice sweet as music to the ears
To quiet all and quell fears
But unheeded now goes our plea
Our cry of torment … Oh! Tormented are we


One day we will return to this place
To pay our homage to her grace
Will try to be strong, try to be brave
Comfort each other around her grave
We will sing of loneliness, and of pain
Knowing alas, we sing in vain
We will sing of our grief, our forlorn plea
The song of the forsaken … Oh! Forsaken are we

If this is from your personal experience, I am deeply sorry for your loss.

You wrote with such emotion that I could really feel your words...

Warm hugs,

EA

Earthangel,
thank you for your comments...no, happily this is not from my experience...most tragic poems that I have written are based on other people's experiences...I simply try to express what I think they would feel....

You have the heart and sincerity as if you were in "others" shoes. Just goes to show your beautiful heart and wonderful writing. I loved this.
