To the Graves

Transparent stranger 1999 (Mpumalanga)

Free verse
Plea to the graves

"Rise and shine"
Words I'm left with,
Your voice is no more
Nothing of you exist
All alone and broken
Reality I have to accept,
Mom is no more
When they tell me about you,
Feels like tales
Pain bloom
Memories are forever
I should have said,
See you on the other side
I'll bring you butterflies
Rest in peace my Mom

Transparent ✍
