A coffin is just a vessel <br />That will cover a human dignity <br />Down, down, into a secret cave <br />Human tears like silver <br />Will rain upone this lonely grave <br />Dear John is done with pain <br />His lips shant kiss <br />No more warm lips <br />Or feel a sunny day <br />It matters not about a setting sun <br />Or the appearance of a moon <br />For John is held by mother earth <br />In her warm cocoon <br /> <br />October 2008<br /><br />Allan James Saywell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-human-vessel/
