Blades of Grass
Stubbornly erect
Poking through the snow
Blades of grass

Stubbornly erect
Poking through the snow
Blades of grass
Darkness fell
Alone she lies.
Chirping Crickets.
A mountain once
Now grains of sand
Echo civilization
A tattered soul
Trapped in falling tears
Pain of Betrayal.
Retirement
Faces and voices
Known for years
Suddenly extinguished.
Life moves on as
The world you knew
Glides past your door
Trailing a muted murmur
Of words and laughter.
Your place already filled
Your input once essential
Desired no longer.
Your briefcase empty
At Your feet
A relic of a life
That once was
You
