The wind blows a little slower
The voices talk a little lower
The face a little longer
The silence a little stronger
The heart a little swallowed
The morning a little hollowed
The sound is followed
To the fresh and empty grave.

to: Uncle Randy

Very powerful & descriptive to a T....absolutely sets the mood like the reader is there...very good use of words to evoke feelings...and your senses...

A few years ago, my little sister's best friend was hit by a car and killed. She was only eight years old. This really reminded me of her funeral. Very well written.

Read in usual speed, thought provoking; read slowly, and it is heart wrenching. Very good work.
