                  Cemetery Mornings


     They sway there heads from side to side with very heavy sorrow
     Knowing that the one they loved with not be here tomorrow

     Plodding of in a world of grief and hearts in hand
     Their foot steps play an agonizing melody

     Though one remains that’s reluctant to cross
     The threshold of a new reality

     In a maze of emotion and a plethora of truths all surfaced too soon
     He attempts to find purpose for mortality, though too jaded to ponder

     Collapsing to the ground in misguided guilt
     He wallows in a cloud of confusion
     Only time with ease his pain, or better yet help him forget.

To my friend Andrew (1983-1999). I will never forget.

I have had this feeling too many times to count. Your friend was much too young. It is nice you remember him with this poetry. Joyce
