Ode to an Urn

Ashes to ashes Carbon and coal Flecks of flesh Burnt to the bone Dust to dust Light and lyre Fire in furnace Clouds and choirs 05 June 2007

Bereft

Hope they've made it to the great unknown With love and care that you've not shown Comfort the sick revel where you are Call the bereaved excuse: I'm so far Let go you were so you do the same Reach out you will so you'd remain sane Free will, forked roads you look back no more Forlorn, forgave but have not forsworn 31 May 2007
