Garden of the deceased

The rain poured today

The sun starts to mourn 

As I placed my wife into a field of stone

 

The flowers don't know

My tears help them grow

will they ever bloom once more?

 

Time runs thin

and will eventually win

when my heart gives in

They dig a hole nice and deep

Here my body they shall keep

Awaiting eternal sleep

 

My cycle of life has come to end

I miss my wife, my one true friend

Into your arms, I shall ascend 

from the garden of the deceased

Beautifully sad and soulful. The pain in this echos in every line. My favourite:
"The seeds didn't know
that my tears helped them grow"
A wonderful write
