Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. The theme for this week is Memorial Day, which falls on May 30.
Today’s poem is a Memorial Day poem about the pain of grief.
I welcome comments on my poems at http://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com.
Yours,
Nick Gordon
Make my sorrow pride.
Enter me with light.
Mourning turns to morning,
Or so I would believe.
Reach me with your tide.
Inundate this blight.
Awaken me with longing,
Lest I live to grieve.
Deaf, dumb, blind inside,
All I am is night,
Yet too frail to leave.
