Stillen Gedenken

Grieving the Living

By Cindy CalderPublished 2 years ago • Updated 2 years ago • 1 min read
In Stillen Gedenken (Silent Remembrance)

Silence, a reckoning you brought and demanded, detonated,

Imploding to deny a bond so wondrously created at your birth. I’ll

Lament your absence from my life, miss your face and laughter for all

Existence while

Navigating through days of longing for you amid depths of emptiness,

Crying nights and grieving the absence of you, my dearest child, for

Evermore, until I breathe no more....and then from my grave.
