The Stones and the Leaf
May 20, 2019
Let’s take a minute,
To go back and revisit,
The souls lost to grief.
Though they’ve loved and lost,
They somehow forget the cost:
Thwarting his belief.
The fallen now cries,
Empty promises and lies
Obstruct his relief.
The spirit still dwells,
A funeral on egg shells;
Eulogies so brief.
Dismissing their regret,
He would sooner just forget;
Putrefy the beef.
He seeks their closure:
“Reconcile and turn over
The stones and the leaf!”
