To The Stone Cold! Poem by Flencirose Basera

Stillness!
Silence!
Stifled sobs!
Stone cold, dark and stillness!
A flick of paper!
A flip of paper!
Breaks the silence!
A resonating sound!
A broken voice!
A troubled heart!
A congregation of minds in torture!
Could I?
Would I?
Confusion and guilt!
What could one have done?
Nothing!
The rythymic voice of one narrating the life!
Gracious life nipped unceremoniously!
Alone and helpless on the stone cold!
Did she know we cared?
Did we tell her we loved her?
The thoughts and wishes never to be known!
At peace too soon!
To the stone cold we surrender!
