The raven crows
Under twilight's glow
Silent screams pierce night's cloak
Muted tears at midnight's stroke
Requiem's vale
in shadow's veil
where engraved stones wail
a beautifully lily of the lamplight
the butterfly takes flight
where angels tread
reunited family threads
words said
as pastor breaks bread
you and your daughter's silhouette dance
by perchance
Alone in the dark
the raven crows
under twilight's glow
