With Passing of Time

Earth lightly floats at timely pace
Around a fiery crimson face
And as each season reappears
It counts the passing of my years

With every day, my living hours
Unfold and close in summer flowers
And moments, like the stars, alight
The still and silent black of night

But years engraved a sallow place
In stark reflections of my face
Where time is marked and candles burned
In weathered creases of concern

My sorrow’s etched where teardrops seeped
Across the smoothness of my cheek
And pain is stagnant in my eyes
Like stillness of the ebon skies

Life does not measure depths of loss
Or seas of grief I’ve sailed across
But weighs the good and counts the wealth
That rests in deepness of myself

And memories profusely spread
Like stars across my midnight bed

I liked this very much, Elizabeth, I thought it very poignant.

I always enjoy your writing but this touched something in me that probably needs touching. I just recently tried to write a poem for my daughter, whom I just lost on April 1 in a car accident. I have yet to be able to express anything much more than that and those words were simply not enough and yet.. I think I gained some closure. \

But reading your work, I gained a little more of calm.

Thank you, as always
