Existentialism Dreams


(A lone voice whispers)


Grief maybe like falling Autumn leaves



Praying for some snow


Hoping with its life giving waters 

They will grow


But just before 

They land and

Their only hope disappears


They see the rising sun

And in that instant 

Know


Life

Love and them


Above all the silent deaths 


By a thousand cuts 

Will live on


Even if they turn 

To dust 

Tomorrow


For their love for someone special


Will flourish 

In beloved memories


Of someone special

Who they were born

To trust


For sorrow can be conquered


By love

If only one person

Remembers


You tomorrow
