Poem -
Raven's Encore
From my Raven Collection
The clocks have stopped ticking
no chimes, no bells
no sound
humming birds now silent
black are the skies
blossoms fallen
every tree is naked
death has stolen my warm blanket
nothing but silence can quiet
the thoughts in my mind
easing the excruciating pain
even for one moment
after all
time will pass, no more
every clock in my house
now without hands
the one who was once my greatest love
has gone, taken in a flash
I shall never see his smile again
nor will I feel his breath upon my face
and as I sit once again
with my raven
reflecting on my now empty life
death fills the silence
my love, my love now gone.

Thank you so much dear Sparrowsong indeed so very true. 🌹
Shirley, It struck a sudden fear, as though some horrific catastrophe happened... I love how you set our hearts to think of one thing only to discover that it was about a horrible loss, and grief of the heart. Well done!
Dear Gayle, so very kind once again to see you on my pages, yes my Raven, always delivers bad news about my loved ones, loss and grief is something none of us can escape, so I turned mine into something so much more interesting and I'm thrilled that they are liked by others including you. Thank you so very much. 🌹
