Before The Concert Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Before The Concert



Sitting in a chapel at a mortuary, waiting for a concert
to begin.

Paul Alexander will be singing, I've heard his tape and
own it thanks to a friend of mine.

'Light A Candle' has provided many hours of listening
and writing poetry, inspired by it's beauty.

Looking about, noticing the wooden pews and knotty pine
ceiling, makes me think I am inside a coffin,

But this is a coffin of life.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
As I stated in the poem, this concert was given in a mortuary,
by a singing social worker, named Paul Alexander.
It was an in-service for hospice bereavement volunteers, of
which I have been one for many years.
