Bruce

Gary Grant 1948 (Virginia)

When stillness settles with cold wings
upon a once so fountained life
and lastly one lone angel sings
a saddened song of blackened night.
Is this that brings me here to cry,
beneath the now stilled words of dark
is this that makes me ask God why
a voyage one so loved must start.
I cannot find one moments peace,
is better this they say to me,
that at these hours' tears released,
will tomorrow set my sorrows free?
