Another Christmas Without You. Poem by alex sarich

A lull in snow soothes the cold air
caressing silence in its form
remembering you young and fair
and not the face of the storm.

Cold is the earth you were buried
warm in the thought of remembrance
dusty, rusty stone worn wearied
an image held high in reverence.

Xmas brings me the joy of reunion
a candle I will light for you
my faith is strong as the ocean
to believe in God, that I do.

My gift to you a hand to reach
your spirit sacred to celestial
secrets of wisdom I beseech
you, a labyrinth of life that's fruitful.
