Angel Of Death (Requiem)
She walked through the park in a cold month,
after death had taken a breath of life,
leaving a void as if it were destoyed,
or holowed out to renew a birthright.
A flicker from the grey sky ousted light,
On a prayer to his lifeless body above ground,
just as there were two complex partings,
one being the life and the other clouds.
On the friday morning as they were mourning,
in a day dawned on chilling february,
the silence fell like the finest rain,
dampening the mood of an entire cemetary.
The tree's were bare and the suits were black,
the lilly's made his name in the falling rain,
and there were two sons coming undone,
bent over like cold sober statues of pain.
She tip toed there around the gathering,
in a silken robe marked by the city of God,
she pushed her way through the crowd,
as they lowered him down she held him up.
Leading the dead man out of his grave,
taking him past where the coffin closes,
he walked with a relieved tear in his eye
as she kissed him and laid his soul with the roses.
