The Funeral

Sensations of Grief

By Judah LoVatoPublished 2 years ago • 1 min read
911 Memorial in Snake River Canyon

You hand is cold under my hand

As I gaze upon your too still face

The dull incense of candles

Wafts over us with muttered prayers

And mingles with the taste of tears

About the Creator

Judah LoVato

My collection of sometimes decent writing

Which I've left "there" for seekers to seek

Though I lack the grandeur of that Pirate King

Perhaps these pebbles can be a light

In this life, this laughing tale
