Nicholas Browning

Graduation

You have been, and will be,

\"Congratulations\",

Con-graduation,

Somehow, they sound the same,

Even more so in a quivering speech.

 

Parting like funeral pyres,

In some glory glazed in green.

In the underside of a beast known

As a valley, so you sing

As farewell.

 

Wear it like an armor, I\'m sure,

A blanket of comfort in trying times.

For all that you have given

I hope that love finds you;

That you get by.

 

I don\'t know why it kills me,

Or why it feels this way.

I don\'t know you, you don\'t know me;

It\'s just the pain that comes along when

You watch a dream die.

 

 

 

Dedicated to Ceres Fauna,

  - All the best.
