Doors Of Fragile Life

In Memory of Siobhan   19/11/2010

For Annie. 

Buttercups faded

and laughter cried

sipped on warm Baileys

as sun died in the sky,

meadow of heaven

reaps dust of your soul

scattered to four corners

of our mourning world.

Your smile echoes

your hidden eyes sparkle

the world is a little lonelier

                 with you gone tonight

stars don't shine quite as bright

scattered autumn leaves stranded

while darkness has lain a blanket

across doors of fragile life

As you depart into glorious light

This is very sad, and very good.

[Clockwork]

This is a very touching elegy; your love shines through very clearly in this poem. This poem reminds me of the sentiment from the Shawshank redemption by Stephen King when one character says:

"I have to remind myself that some birds aren't meant to be caged. Their feathers are just too bright. And when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up DOES rejoice. But still, the place you live in is that much more drab and empty that they're gone. I guess I just miss my friend."

[Amila Jay]

A beautiful poem it is:)
