Soft Fall The Tears Poem by Laurie hill

Soft Fall The Tears

Rating: 5.0


Whisper soft the rain that fell,
Careless winds are stilled this morn.
Gone the stealthy shadows lost,
The night has passed the day is born.

Stirring is the dream of being,
deep within the mourners breast.
Sorrowed eyes, no light, unseeing,
Hands are clasped, within, unrest.

Rosary beads, the broken dreams,
Prayers unheard, by him, unknown
No compassion, no forgiveness,
No hope from him who bears the crown.

Soft fall the tears within the chapel,
Half stifled sobs, her haunting cries.
His life has passed and her's is empty,
No questions answered, no replies.

This is very excellent writing. And also it is slightly depressing- and that's not an unusual thing amongst good poetry.

A stirring and emotional poem that hauntingly takes me to a mournful conclusion. It is written with dignity and grace by a much admired poet. 10 Karin Anderson

Even the title is lovely, your words are like eating decadent chocolate or luxuriating in silk and velvet. I am enchanted. Susan
