Misperception?

Tetrameter sonnet

 

 

Misperception.

 

The silence of the night; profound.

Is broken by a dismal sound.

The tolling of a single bell.

The sad, sad sound of the death knell.

Another soul has broken free

From this sad world of misery.

Now journeying towards the light

Rejoicing in the power of flight.
But we who have been left behind

to seek what solace we can find.

Weep bitter tears which may relieve

The pain of loss but I believe.

We should not weep but celebrate.

The dear departed’s change of state.
