Song Of A Dying Infant Poem by Sally Plumb Plumb

Song Of A Dying Infant

Rating: 5.0


I am gently dying.
No need to cry.
No need to say goodbye.
I go in peace,
into a sky of butterflies
and tiny golden birds
that never cease to sing.
I will take wing. Softly.

Your beautiful imagery, particularly the butterflies, softened the grief of the infant dying. To go in peace also gives the poem a gentle feel. The parents left behind are the ones who will be sorrowfully grieving. 10 love Karin
