The Silence Of Sorrow

Silence Acrostic

Solemn is the stone that bears your name, marking your final resting place

I quietly wait, listening for your voice in fractured silence

Leaves toss and bristle in the breeze, casually

Embracing my being

Now, nothingness consumes my every thought

Capturing my breath and stealing my hope

Eternity has claimed us both
