Shoutout...

Sickness stoned deep in my flesh

Fresh into a funeral

A funeral of a great friend



I did witness, as he was layed to rest

The tears of many who came to bless

Trying to comfort the grieving parents



But the mother

Just stayed still in her chair

Slumped over, crying

Against her husbands care



Westward along the path

I did walk, with sadness bled

Hauntingly into my thoughts

As I once shared this path

With a soul now layed to rest

Author notes

Remembering back to when my very close friend Joe (who passed away during Sophmore year of hs) was layed to rest. I had a tough time dealing with his death but with support of family friends I got through it. No way will I ever forget him tho~ R.I.P. bro!

    hey mark
    alright, so you pretty much made me cry. my best friend of 9 years past away this past december, and I wasn't able to attend his Wake because his family cancled coming to OR for it and stayed in Cali. It is a hard thing to go through, and you played it out and in emotional but subtle manner.
    wonderful piece.

    There's a quiet and almost gentle tone to this poem. Quite different than your others, but with such subject matter it would almost have to be wouldn't it. Another great one. Good luck in the contest.
