We saw nor death till death arise, <br />And minutes in a moment fail- <br />but absent, as the hour longs <br />to hold the breathing of a man, <br />Oft I remember those that passed before- <br />as by a magnet, those whom are not dead <br />gather in the restless space for comfort. <br /> <br />And in other days to which the heart shall miss, <br />Memories of a past shall be brought forth- <br />as the darkened room remains <br />he shall sit in silence with me again, <br />We’d watch those wartime films- <br />and now I’d watch alone <br />Oft I remember those that passed before and now, <br />In the world we cannot see; <br />they await for the gathering of a family.<br /><br />Lee Hepworth<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/we-saw-nor-death-till-death-arise/
