On the Morrow

HChristian74

 

By: Hunter Christian

 

 


On the morrow


Under gray clouds ubiquitous


She will measure her tears on the scale of sorrow

 

As she bids a solemn adieu


To the only lover she ever knew


The dark passenger of he


Took the wheel of his mortal vehicle


Careening the youthful vehicle into tumbling waters of a

thunderous sea

 

 

On the morrow

The cascading rains will slow from a wash to a trickle


As she lowers her eyes to the bronze casket that holds he


For all eternity, in solemnity


Heartbreak hath no remedy


Amidst whispers of wasteful, youthful “tragedy”

 

 

 

And, on the morrow


Birds of myriad varieties will fly above


To bear witness to the rising of his lost and broken soul


Upon her fragile body his departure has taken its toll


A slender frame that casts a long shadow of love


A shadow that will grow longer with the setting sun


As tidewaters roll into the shores of her mind


Upon sandy shores where upon her love affair had begun

 

 

 

On the morrow


When she trembles in the drenching rains of sorrow


That will surely slow to a trickle


whose delivering gray clouds will surely yield


To the sleepy sun that lengthens her shadow across a barren field


So that a measure of her love may guide him back home


With whispers of faith on the breeze


Their love roaming throughout the words of this humble poet's

poem

Infinitely cataloged upon the parchment paper of fallen leaves


Reinvigorated back to life with every spring anew


Their story gets written and rewritten upon an endless diary of

God’s hallowed garden of trees

 


Lost are the many; found are the few.

    HC,
    This is a gem!
    Loved reading it!...
    ...a few times
    ...as a matter of fact!
    It read like a love story!

    “Their love roaming throughout the words of this humble poet’s poem “

    “Reinvigorated back to life with every spring anew”

    An absolute delight!
