Love Poem: Reverence

Reverence

Sometimes life seems so cruel, it turns so pale
Everything just crumbles in a gusty gale
All colors seem present here, glorious, and vibrant
Yet, I feel empty, deep down poignant
You will hold my hands no more
I never see you smile again
That touching thought nails my heart
With arrows of pain
I close my eyes, memories roll down
Droplets of tears turn into pearls on God’s crown
I hope to see you brother on the other side
Under the full moon, perhaps we go for a joyride
Now I bid farewell brother, say goodbye
Your sister’s reverence painted in wailing dye
