Personal Fav
: Grieving mother by Mrs Anna Howard
Minute Poetry Contest contest entry
Artwork by Renate-Bertodi at FanArtReview.com

One lit candle by the window
for a dear soul-
the one so loved
now dwells above 

No tear left in the mother's eyes,
too numb to cry
Her painful heart
was ripped apart 

No story of what could have been 
all pages are seen- 
just memories 
permanently 


Author Notes
This poem captures the raw grief of a mother mourning the loss of her child. It does not seek consolation but confronts the depth of anguish wound.
