Place of transition

kneeling reverence
begets this fallen hour:
a journey of breathing interrupted,
thoughts flood mind
as lightening strikes heart
leaving togetherness engraved

penguin clothed removal
black bagged signed dispatch,
red-tape legal machinery
offering:
cold enclosed hatch
damp impounded crypt

finality of life’s journey
deepens in knowing:
where death never reigns
there will be reunion,
hatch and crypt but stages
His love is enough

    Ohhh wow. This is very deep. And though short, which I don't mind at all, the point of this piece was definitely explained well.

    "finality of life’s journey
    deepens in knowing:"

    Those lines really stood out to me. I'm not sure why, haha, but it reminded me of something that happened a few years back.
    Thanks for entering and good luck!

    There is a lot of meaning behind your carefully chosen words. I really loved this part...a journey of breathing interrupted,
    thoughts flood mind
    as lightening strikes heart
    leaving togetherness engraved ...

    Liked the flow of these lines - lost my dad when I was 10 -48 years ago, seems like an eternity ago. Wrote about it in poetry here for the first time since then. Interesting title - place of transition. Good to have faith, sees us through many situations like this. Not sure if this is about a military death or not - think there is more to this than is visible - something deeper. Only one remains now with memories of past. Also like the brevity of the lines and the alliteration used.
