Pleasant blossoms lxvi
A kiss has come from the rose by the grave
For the wreath is still wet from morning dew
The placid air of quietness and restive silence
The bended knees and certain whisper of goodbye
Has made the candles prostrate in due respect
For the days of light ahead and welcome change
A carnival is on with drummers and trumpeters
A parade goes past with voices and visions
A masquerade is levied with a blunt blade
Pointing at the pupils of silver spooned children
Dangling a tail taut with ancestral pressures
Dancing a tune of gongs wooden and metal
Conjuring the spirits of comfort to placate
The hearts of men wounded in the battle of shares
The passion of women whose model is deceased
The glory of histories whose author is prolific
Some love has come from the handsome undertaker
Whose spade us always polished and well displayed
Whose sweat falls like tears on marbled epitaphs
Whose artistry saves grief as lessons for the future
