In This Garden

Even the crows are welcomed here
to roost on the hand rails of the bridge
to peck in the lush grasses, cool to the feet.
They are not turned away.

How does a crow mourn, anyway?

They do not tarry as the wind carries
their voice, squawking a pierce
through these broken hearts.

They could not keep a black watch
over the muffled sound of tears
breaking their fall.
No, the released petals of the roses
hold those memories.

Welcomed here, they are to serve
their own purpose of momentary rebuttal.
Gone as quickly as they came.

HOW does a crow mourn...anyway?

Very nice....liked that....moved me.

"HOW does a crow mourn...anyway?" with hidden tears and counting shadow on our ceiling at night. Hearing echoes of lost voices in the dark corners of an empty bed room. Or smelling a pillow in hopes of catching that one last scent and then feeling stupid because something are still hanging in the cubard....
Reading old love letter and looking at photos because the hurt feel so good...and laughing at memories as the tears roll down your face...closing your eyes and wishing from the very make up of your soul to touch the skin that you once felt love from....

"HOW does a crow mourn...anyway?" very deeply :-(

Hugs to you
