Mourning Poem by Jacquie StewartHeimann

Long, dreary, rainy days
Gray clouds drift through a troubled sky
Thunder rolls across the fog covered hills
A single bird sings

Wind rustles through damp leaves
Lightning cracks, the sky opens
Rain pours down to join you in your sadness
The grayness weighs you down

So tired, no energy, no hope
Whump, whump, the wipers beat
A wearing monotonous tone
Tires swish on endless highway

Desolate landscape passes by
A deer lifts his head, takes flight
The field now echos
With the surrouding emptiness

Steam rises from heated road
Shrouding all in mist
A low sad song on the radio
Bring memories of bygone days

So much has changed
So many gone
My soul weeps with the rain drops
as each falls into oblivion
