Walking Through The Woods

Tony36

While walking through the woods

I feel like I’ve been here before

But when I am not sure

There is a presence I can not explain

But I hear a spirit call my name

The wind blows harshly upon my back

As if the spirit is coming in for the attack

I turn around to see a familiar figure

Standing in front of me

The figure says nothing he just looks at my feet

I look down to see a tombstone engraved with words in gold

 

“To my beloved son”

John Anderson

1990-1992

 

A tear wells up in my eye as I fall to my knees

I realize this is my child taking the eternal sleep

              Beautifully and poetically written. Sorry for your loss. The death of a child often leads to divorce. Sending positive thoughts and prayers.
