Measured Moments           

                         July 22, 2006

Into nothing, a sea of gray,
No burning amber to light the way,
As seasons are lost, as years betray,
No more tommorows to seize the day,
 
As silence rests upon a will to pray,
No more seasons flutter; no more drops of rain,
A flagrant somber brings a delayed shame,
While, hope for a brighter tommorow withers away,
 
Rest, comes not easy, to those,
Lost inside a crumbling decay,
For, time is all, but, too uncertain,
As it measures each passing day.

Written the evening of mothers death and spoken the day of her memorial

Very nice, somber piece. It's short, but packs a lot of emotion in its words succinctly and beautifully. My only critique is that the rhyming pattern is not followed in the third stanza, which I find distracting. Still, good piece.
