An Event Poem by Heather Burns

An Event



The day became overcast
raindrops began to fall

the procession moved slowly
toward their destination

traveling in silence
events of the day unfolding

goodbyes were silently whispered
your presence hovered near

the flag was neatly folded
placed in waiting arms

kissing it I bowed my heart
