Withered Rose

Life seems but a cosmic speck death did so easily and heartlessly fleck
Birth a struggle death’s final act to earthen care bid farewell lie in sweetest repose
Touch and sight with hearing the bond completed in this sojourn it does weave
On our hearts this engram love has etched in deadliest silence torn they leave

Death’s claws scrape emotional devastation left in the wake lost beating heart
Agonies rawest pain did burn within the forlorn tortured brain
Disembodied confused your spirit follows them In part
Time begins to shrink the limbo again seemingly whole

Reality loneliness and longing for the soul so fair
Salvation does materialize at the point they become our inspiration
Every earth bound trait of theirs priceless gems we wear
The cold barred from the heart love the strongest seal

Distant footsteps I hear our beloved draws near
Union is found across the abyss life the victor
The receding years fall away revealing clearer sights of glory
I now can attest God knows best how to write a love story
