Mourning Due
by June Nazarian
copyright 04-01-2008


Age Rating: 10 to 127

 
Mourning Due

The sun set too soon
On a life unfinished
The illness wild as fire in hell
Devils of nature on final rounds

All that remained was to pluck the day,
Surrender to fate and savor last moments
Time's an illusion, a fantasy
Fully engage a lifetime in minutes
Rejoice the memories in oneness enshrined
Hear the angels repeating refrains
Thankful for life we shared

Illusion mocked by the hourglass
Its final grains dispensed
Silence befell our requiem vigil
Consuming the wine of last communion

Though selfishness would bid you stay
Postpone the words "death do us part"
You've earned your way to Heaven's rest
Godspeed, my love, goodbye, dear heart

The moon took to slumber, my mourning due
Dawn spread its wings in glory
The nonchalant, unconcerned day showed its face
And the earth shed tears of morning dew


A/N: In loving memory of my late husband George Norris Nazarian

Had to read it again. Love your word choice. My favorite (if I can pick just one) is "All that remained was to pluck the day." It offered the explanation.. the outcome.. of the first few lines. How the illness played out. The realization that time was short.
You had decided to enjoy what you had left, remember the love and life shared, and allow the suffering to end. (as if you had a choice)
I am so drawn in... the tears and the smiles all run together.
Almost a song... a long, slow dance.

Such passion. I have read this several times. Very slow, each line stands on it's own. Much meaning. The imagery draws one in to share this with you... though obviously a private moment in time.
And in the end of it all.. the new day comes and life goes on.. but with a gentle teardrop... morning dew.
