A.H. Browning

Last Moment

 

When the last have left, and then the silence
And the deathly hors d’oeuvres remain sitting round

Some eyes have wept, some eyes not slept
To put your body into the ground


So here I sit, since all have gone
And ache with numbness, quite lost, forlorn
The light of the Sun is forgotten and hollow
There’s only now, there’s no tomorrow


My loss feigned beauty, with flowers adorned
Kind words were spoken, as all did mourn

Until the last kind flower we saved
Was placed with love upon your grave


So I stare blankly, watch darkness fall
There’s only emptiness, then nothing at all
And as the moon begins to rise
I wait and watch as our time dies


And this is the last one
The last one moment
Until God willing
We meet again
