"Life is eternal, and love is immortal,
and death is only a horizon;
and a horizon is nothing save the limit of our sight."

Rossiter Worthington Raymond

Ebony’s Grave

Reminiscent diaries constantly reliving

Washed by hidden floods tide in earth

From mortuary’s graver carving sorrows

Chiseled under entombment’s moons

Chairs folded in contending concessions

Trumpets muse cannot be heard by all

Where sinners birth of yestermorn grievers

The destruction of lessons are hardly learned

Whence innocent eyes of mortal living close

Their stones standing alone in sodden trees

Come forth the cut rose blossoms for caskets

Where alters harvest belief within ashes to dust

And the wind sings upon sonatas barren season

The heart’s desolate future from lost loves sight

Placed inside coffin’s wood baring promises love

the heart of a child now fades into ebony’s grave

(Written: January 6^th, 2010 2:30 p/m)

Is not to die.”

This one hits home Vick as I prepared to go to my Aunts funeral on Sat and have just heard my step-brother will not be long on this earth either...but as the poem and the good Mr. Campbell suggests they will live on in the hearts of many who loved them. fee

Twinship to my Arboroglyph http://www.authorsden.com/visit/viewpoetry.asp?id=270042 Eulogizing something lost in poetry is self-healing, death of our loved ones, family and broken relationships cast to exile and pine boxes are carthartic as well as granite and marble headstones marking a life which once walked upon this plane of life...pallbearers witness to the weight in their hands, pagans with the feel of rebirth in our hands...soul lives on as we bury with either bodies or other "dead things", items of reincarnation of the afterlife...trumpets or elk bugles, a send-off of Ebony's Grave... Love & Immortality, Sage
