Melancholia Poem by Timothy Weiermann

Melancholia

Rating: 5.0


Somber winds carrying the news
Of who through the night we've had to lose
Shallow graves dug in the rock laden soil

Tear soaked grounds with a wooden post
Laying to rest, the one we've loves most
And out of the sorrow, we tend to what we grow

The name of the loved one, scribed in stone
Of this melancholia, we erase what is known

Dedicated to the memory of Max Von Baren

Your words always seem to amaze me. As though every time I read what you wrote it feels as though you're talking to my soul.

A touching tribute to the memory of your furry child. I believe, whole heartedly, that pets are a gift and that they are here to teach us what love is and how love is supposed to be. I'm so sorry for your loss.
