Elegy of Death Imagery
- Written by Angela Brown
A youthful spirit retracts,
A reflection of sun light piercing
Through cast shadows of death.

A silver crescent moon
Dangling in the dark, empty sky
Amongst a galaxy of stars.

Tears dropping downward
From the sky of desolate gray clouds
Wanting to have you near.

Day by day I overcome loss
Isolated from disparity
Subsuming the struggle of uncertainty.

The world is spinning inside my mind
Losing sight of the scent of sweet flowers
Blowing in the wind of frozen time.

Saluting sorrow in an apron of pain
Hoping someday to return
Sustaining time underneath the calm sea.

Waiting and yearning for a spirit to return
To feel the cool air pierce my skin
With the sign from a spring breeze.
