Musings on Life, Love, and Linguine-Poetry & Writing
Now In These Dark Days
Now in these dark days that follow
when death has trod along the path
laying bare souls, bleeding us hollow
leaving behind an anguished wrath
We seek solace in this black gloom
sharing memories of our friend
his smile could light a darkened room
a life well lived, too young to end
But who are we to question why
we may never know the reason
taking a breath, we heave a sigh
for each soul has its end season

This is really engaging Linda. Very somber and sobering, yet tender. If this represents a true recent loss for you, then my genuine sympathy.

Nice last stanza of resignation with “reason” and “season” rhymes helping to explain what we can’t know.

Each life indeed has its end season, but it is still hard to lose a loved one who dies too young.
