Chapel at Rest

 


Foundation.


Poetry encompasses all aspects of the human experience.


This piece relates to the last visit.


A tragic part of life we all will someday endure.


If you already have, sending blessings.


Title:

Chapel at Rest


(A lone voice whispers)


Are lone goodbyes like lone turtle-doves that serenely fly away 


In wild winds of memories of a once beautiful Yesteryear 


Of one day 


They're here

And one day they're gone.


But you always, afterwards, cry silently inside 


In somewhere deep and quiet,

In new realms of unfamiliarity


Where beloved memories hide


When you remember moments of tranquility and sincerity 


Before that old love went away and unjustly died
