[The Pieta’] <br /> <br />alone in grief, alone in thought, alone <br />the mother stood, the mother wept, <br />small, silent, tearless tears at the brim <br />that never came: <br />The Pieta’ <br /> <br /> <br />Around the gloom, around the dark, and hopelessness <br />She held her son a piece of flesh <br />Alone in grief, alone in thought she stood <br />The Pieta’ <br /> <br /> <br />She saw him hit, she saw him fall, his eyes <br />She closed herself; hers the last kiss <br />Hers the last touch, farewell: <br /> <br /> <br />Alone in grief, alone in thought she stood <br />Pieta’<br /><br />Emmanuel George Cefai<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/alone-in-grief-alone-in-thought-alone/
