Visit To A Grave Poem by Sylvia Frances Chan

Visit To A Grave

Rating: 5.0


today i visited a special grave
it is quite shortsighted
maybe from my side

no, i am not related to the dead person in the grave
i visited purely on my part
as duty and respect for his artist's heart

he was not just born
but already gifted in the womb
to put it in a different way,
i visited him out of respect for his great personality

despite his genius
he was the humblest artist I have known

this is poetically sown
with a golden ribbon
from my own cozy fireplace at home

This is a unique poem on funeral messages. A well written and humble and beautiful gesture. Thank-you Sylvia for penning it do eisely. So beautifully you enlisted every of the characteristics which we fail to observe.
