Loss
Hope
Faith
Today so dark,
heavy sheets of rain
My mind tis bemused,
Filled with agonizing pain
The rooster hid behind the hay
The crow flew circles around thy roof
The magpie, no mischief came from her
As she perched on a branch of a poplar tree
This day, O form, a bridge to cross over
Let the pain of loss fade slowly away
I’ve lost, my spark, my zest
Failed life’s brutal test
Oh pray, for me,
Angels of sky
Blue
Calm
Peace
