face the dawn with sleepless hope
for another day of prayer and the
wings of sweet morning light
return silently alone to read the
moss etched stone with all reverence
for the death of a caring soul and
the tears of another world
close your eyes to the corruption
of this world and surround it with
a fairy forest of new creation
