Deafening
The shadow of a memory
Watching as the wheels turn
My heart
Drives away from me
What is loss
But the ending of a time
The parting of a smile
Even if but for a small while
Silence consumes
Where laughter once rang
The skies once blue
Now darkened grey
Like the bitterness of winter
Cold, stagnant times
Awaiting spring’s sweet revival
Flowers and sunshine
My heart drives away
Tears stream down my face
Yet it is only for a moment
Sacrifice one
That many more may come
Even after winter
The sun warms the earth again
The shadow of their memory
Clings tightly to my mind
Like the ringing of their laughter
Promises for better times.
