Another One Gone

The death of a loved one.

Clouds fill the once empty sky
The breeze carries loneliness
A small tree broken by age
Lies in a vast field of stones
Shadowed by the tree lies a hole
Figures stand around
So many thoughts
Echo in the bitter breeze
Tears fall from the sky
Roses of fine colors
Notes of hope and heartbreak
Line the top of the box
Dropping into the dark hole
Six feet under
Everyone asking why
A gunfire
Hit by mistake
What happened
So young
Too young
To
Die
