TORMENTS OF THE SOUL LEFT BEHIND

She didn’t arise that morning

Just as her father before her . . .

 

Life left her cold in the nocturne,

Like a small caged bird flown away

Torments of the soul left behind

Self made misery abandoned

At the end of the road of life

Unhappiness left in a heap

As a pile of unwanted clothes . . .

 

Her memorial deferred until spring

Ironically her favorite season.
