Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. The theme for this week is mourning in honor of Memorial Day, which was
celebrated on May 28th.
I welcome comments on my poems at http://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com
.
Two contrasting name poems for Buddy, who is mourned with
both joy and sorrow:
Buddy's memory burns ever bright;
Underneath our sorrow, ever there.
Death, unlike the coming of the night,
Does nothing to the loveliness of light,
Yet dancing through the willows' tangled
hair.
Buddy lies beyond all love and light,
Underneath a grief too harsh to bear.
Dreams may try to keep his memory bright,
Drawing blindly in the depths of night,
Yet none can borrow what’s no longer there.
