sweetest blood-red rose
comes weeping over city
bright tears, mourning star
dying bears love’s stigmata
risen in perfect beauty

Dedicated to the family of Henry Wynia, who passed away 8-27-16.
Beloved,
bereaved by
an accidental fall
into valley of death’s shadow
dark night of grief
He bottles our tears
father’s life in our Father’s hands
He battles our fears
soul rests in relief
under his strong wings’ shelter
a providential call
comforted by
Beloved.
A quadrille/mirror poem linked to dVerse Poets.

observe morning star
breathe lily-of-the-valley
touch rose of sharon
i belong to my beloved
friend and lover of my soul
