Another

Another
Another dandelion gone to seeds
The wind carries them away
To grasp them all cannot be done
Nor to find them at the end of day
Another bird leaves for winter
And cries its goodbye song
But never shall it return to here
The sky, empty, in its absence long
Another shell swept out to sea
Swallowed by the abyss below
As it tumbles down to darkness
The water crushes painful slow
Another parent’s world is shattered
Spilled out like endless grains of sand
They weep for their children gone
Holding cold lifeless little hands
Another innocence lost to death
Yet silence is all that’s spoken
Coffins draped in purest flowers
Our souls, forever broken
