Can One Write A Poem For Someone No Longer Here
CAN ONE WRITE A POEM FOR SOMEONE NO LONGER HERE?
Can one write a poem for someone no longer here?
Can it mean anything?
Can it help in anyway?
The quiet modest woman
Who suddenly died last week
Will never take into her hands another seed or branch
Will never tenderly find a place to plant yet again
Another new tree for our communal garden.
All who knew her
Will miss her for as long
As we can feel
How she unasked
Brought so much Beauty
Into our world.
