Poems of Narad

United At Their Feet

2/23/02

Now the cheerful daffodils
Are set against the gloom
And on the fragrant carpet-hills
Magnolias break in bloom.

I know you are at peace in Them
Yet difficult the tears
Unwanted flow, so hard to stem
Remembering the years

We loved and laughed and grew apace
In aspiration's fire
And now I'm left with but a trace,
The ashes of your pyre.

Perhaps with time, when sorrow dies
Our souls once more will meet?
In other worlds, in brighter skies,
United at Their Feet.

For Mary Helen
