as with each season's turn of leaf
Friday, 6 July 2007 Labels: Contributors' Poems 5 responsesand darkness fell silent that night
one man's freedom, another's fight
such disbelief and questions rife
yet, even in death, there is life
distorted shadows ebb and flow
shrouding all as I let you go,
but out of the depths that I mourn
a renewed sense of hope is born
as with each season's turn of leaf
hands of time will encircle grief,
under rainbows of hopeful hue
I will whisper a goodbye to you.

Earlier this week I asked Jani if she would feature her poem on Poeartica.She kindly accepted my offer. I was very moved by this poem. Jani has portrayed the loss of a loved one with great delicacy and sensitivity. Thank you Jani.
