on this very troubled afternoon

on this very troubled afternoon

A Poem by Philip Gaber


Between summer’s mist and winter’s rain,
the faceless, voiceless mourners recede into yesterday’s succor,
engulfed in the waves which soar above the sand.
"The graveyard’s threshold opens and we step toward its eddying silence,"
the incurious minister says, peering into another wandering void.
Light white rain descends in the dark clear shade as the
mother’s ultramarine eyes glance at the silver white edge of a raindrop,
her blue white tears moistening her black veil.
The sparkling childhood ring she holds in her hand
will one day shine again in the sun’s clear white song.
