Lament Poem by Alan James Roll

Lament



For J

Among the small graves a soft shaft of sunlight gently rains
On a memory; etches, as a glittering finger,
Golden corn field hair, ignites eyes sweet as the sea’s blue plains,
Traces lips pink as Mary’s carnation tears and lingers…
Then - is gone. Oh ancient sun above how shall I tell
Of the heart’s deep yearnings that the years can never quell?
