The Loss

Veils covered the eyes
Rain masked the tears
Not everyone cries
So many gone these last few years

So innocent at birth
Then slow corruption of the soul
Finally resting in the earth
Life's final role

Sadness overwhelms the heart
Friendships come to an end
Families torn apart
Yet others begin again

Memories protect the past
The future is so unclear
For each the die is cast
For each life seems more dear

And what of us,
And what of us.



(c) Michael R Wood 2002
