Funeral
©1974, Olan L. Smith
Sleepless nights
Sadden eyes
Bring tears
To their goodbyes
Pleasure is occluded
And sorrow does prevail—
Her eyes are blurred
But yet she perceives
The face she reveres—
Her arms stretch out
To clutch,
To embrace—
His visage disappears—
She falls to her knees
And sobs—
People begin to leave.
