I arrived first. <br />With engineered time on my hands, <br />Reflections and ponderings abounded. <br />In the perfectly washed out, <br />Freeze dried day. <br />Leaves called me to watch <br />As they let go <br />And frolicked <br />And danced <br />In death's most feeble breath. <br />Just as she would wish. <br />My anger at life for it's failure <br />And at death for it's gratuitous theft <br />Subsided. <br />Finality accepted. <br />Younger than I <br />And no more. <br />Hearse arrived, <br />Clouds parted <br />And she shone again.<br /><br />Esra Sloblock<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/for-kay/
