Flowers for a grave, <br />Both dainty and distressing, <br />As tears escape twin rivers of the soul. <br />Convenient time I gave, <br />Infrequently expressing, <br />The sentiment between routine and role. <br />Words left unspoken, <br />Considered unnecessary, <br />Sunshine and shadows, petals and tears. <br />Now the bridge is broken, <br />The chance was temporary, <br />To cross back and stroll through tender years. <br />Eulogies and regret, <br />As mysterious as Jade, <br />I failed to say just what I really meant. <br />A cemetery debt, <br />For love that went unpaid, <br />And greeting cards I never even sent.<br /><br />Danielle Arsuaga<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/scattered-echos/
