Remus And Nymphadora Under The Starry Ceiling
By Peter Christopher Raymond
Copyright 2010
Their souls have passed behind the curtain
This and little else do I know for certain
I saw the curses strike them squarely in the chest
Now they recline temple to temple as though at rest
Beneath the cover of artificial constellations
Still and unaffected despite surrounding jubilation
Release from the curse of the lycanthrope
Those binds which had extinguished all hope
Fear of the luminous celestial orb
The care and weariness you've absorbed
When the coldness spreads across the flesh
Though anger and sorrow intermesh
The dead are free of that awful burden
They've long since slipped behind the curtain
Their wands released from their fingers
Final anxious expressions linger
With flashes of light a child is thus orphaned
Do pray he shall not inherit ill-fortune
That the fates may show mercy and not curse his soul
To act upon urges beyond his control
Born of a witch who lived so bravely
Succumbing gravely yet she kept you in safety
Who bore against the most practical advice
Who ran to the front in grave sacrifice
Felled by a spell and flash of green light
And slipped off silently in the midst of the fight
Shafts of light slips through shattered window panes
Touching the remains of the dark lord who's been slain
His body limp and eyes rolled back in his skull
His minions scattered and his rulings annulled
And long after the dead are reduced to bones
Their spawn shall have freedom they had never known
Years from now when the child is grown
Though their spirits have flown their love has been sown
With birthday wishes sealed in his heart
Amidst pumpkin juice and treacle tart
Born of the brave with the blessings of the fates
Surrounded by friends as he celebrates
Well composed Dear Peter !!!!!!
Lovely !!!
