And the earth weeps

And the earth weeps

A Poem by Jack...

 

 

 

 

And the earth weeps

 

Posy petal’d tear drops

on saffron colored morns

fall deep in the shadows

where sunshine is only a reflection

of the beauty once shared

Clouded days sing dreary sonnets

and all other butterflies are sad,

for those cherished wings

of brilliant colors

are gone from this field

 ~

Now a misty shade of gray

lingering in the thoughts

of one so missed…

finds the garden gates locked,

never to open again

 ~

Where rainbows once painted blue hydrangea skies

and daffodil promises carried our smiles,

sorrow now gathers in shapeless corners,

missing this butterfly

all had so come to adore

 ~

and the earth weeps…

squishy hugs to all that need them and one for the soul that is compassionate enough to realize that the earth weeps too!
