A Widow's Life Poem by Josh Alfred

A Widow's Life



She's like a soft faint light,
With a weak low shine,
Frail, pale white hands
Thoughts tarry, linger,
Moving like a gentle wind
Through the widow's head.
Her hair falls, tangled
Dust brushed eye-lashes blink
Tired bones, rickety and weak
Carry a languid frame.
Gravity pushing, pressing, down.
Mother, gently held an offspring's grasp
Slipping off, into a dark sleep.
A tender fading out.
