~Tears of Sorrow~ during my grief the sounds of children playing outside... ~~~ into the blinding sun the funeral processions glaring headlights... ~~~ outrun the sorrow in the arms of friends wrapped in love... ~~~ feeling so cold inside only acceptance brings warmth... ~~~ eternal sunshine on your bed of flowers rest easy my love... ~~~ fragile egos shatter for the sadness... ~~~ when I am sad flowers bloom even then... ~~~ at my son's grave someone has left flowers... ``` summer burial a stone angel points her finger at the blue sky... ~~~ at the open grave mingling with a preachers prayer the sounds of sorrow... ~~~ his tombstone's shadow reaching across to touch hers... ~~~ never ending this dancing with sorrow and still he leads... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Photo by: Carole Mathys

Your haiku leaves absolutely nothing to be desired, Carole!!! They are whole and complete, and take one into their own mind.

Peace.

This is so sad, but beautiful and comforting at the same time. I am so sorry for your loss of your son. This is an eloquent and profoundly moving tribute to his memory.
