she walks with angels
in heaven's angelic realm
on clouds of fine silk
dark grey winter day
casket lowered into ground

Bells and Cries
A lovely lady;
Growing inside, a new life.
A man in a tux.
Another bell rings now.
Final grades, balanced college offers,
Off to another adventure.
Damp ground, headstones.
Growing inside, a new life,
Done with their adventures.

LOVE
Love will conquer all
those who fight it...surrender
to lose is to win
LILIES
The lilies called me
I sheltered in their flowers
a casket loomed close
BIRDS
Sirens scream at dawn
helicopters in pursuit
birds keep on singing

Dead bodies, a cry
People must come back home soon…
Enough with the war!
To all of those brave men who will never be home to celebrate our Independence

thick blanket of death
from the forest, heavy mist
lone dark horse comes.

a lost boy asked a
stranger for help; was kidnapped,
killed and dismembered
an innocent life
snatched by evil hands ; let this

This Lifeless Tot -- Florida
an innocent child,
a nineteen-month-old baby,
was senselessly shot;
cold drive-by shooter
killed a cherished little boy--
with a heartless plot
endless tears of pain--
as we remember the love
of this lifeless tot
*baby was not the intended target

Anything Goes: Life In a Loop
What has life in store?
Milk on bed and milk when dead.
Why sulk all along?
P.S.This poem is based on the Hindu customs of burial. Attending a funeral recently taught me this very essence of Life.
