The Silent Procession Poem by Edmund V. Strolis

The Silent Procession

Rating: 5.0


No one remains to mourn their loss
If ever there were any then
I do not know, how can I know?
What laid them low so long ago.

Their tiny eyes were closed too soon
Their pink hands failed to grasp
The sun now sets without them
They are the silent procession

Their tombstone marks oblivion
Their names now barely visible
With no eyes to puzzle over
What was and will never be
