the vigil
the vigil
days without names or faces
time does pass quickly by
yet somehow steady seems
consumed into that night
she departed this earthly abode
without flickering star or moon to shine
clouded in darkness everyday as night
i await upon the dawn
when all rise from death and dust
to meet the light of everlasting life
then shall we meet in tears
embrace in joy and happiness
