We laid you down to rest
The sky grey and still, as was your arrival
Silence will never be golden
The days I had planned for us
Mine for the grace of love
Then the light extinguished soon after you appeared
Can you ever show me clemency?
Now I stand at your marred stone
Linger in earth's shadow.
And for the next one hundred years shall I stand
Waiting in the Silent Yard for pardon.

Romantic yet eerie all at the same time fun to read!
Wow. That last one hit me like a ton of bricks.Like finding something so amazing and just having it ripped away. Gorgeous writing.
Such a sad story, but poignant. Well written.
Silence will never be golden - such a sad line.
I don't know what to say. But I love it! Let's talk about a poem as a lovely, affecting dedication!
This is so very sad.
Thank you for your comments. This post was a different lane to venture down from the usual lighthearted one I take.
When I saw the prompt it reminded me of a baby grave close to my father's - very old and very abandoned. How that mother must have ached. I tried to imagine how the emotion of such tragedy would have been managed back then. For this piece, I chose guilt as the overshadowing reaction.
So sad but the again, life is sad at times.
this was so full of sadness and undying love.
touching and beautiful.
Sad yet beautifully written...
That is lovely and so tender. Warm wishes, Kristen
Heartbreaking...
Very poignant. My niece lost a boy at birth. One of the most difficult things for her to cope with, has been the terrible feeling of guilt. That she, as the mother, had failed the child.
i too was brought to the memory of a child's death.
beautifully written. thanks
