Graduation

Nicholas Browning

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.
