More or Less Once




A hushed goodbye on Monday morning
a pendant silky breath on gentle waves
no time left to sleep in hopeful dreams
no more seeking the loving that she craves


Earnest promises turned the evening stale
falseness putting paid to many wishes
empty pages no longer needing messages
a kitchen full of empty cups and dishes


In the quiet early hours of Monday morning
when there was nothing left for anyone to say
she closed her eyes with one last reminiscing
then wore a cloak of silence on her way


In Loving Memory
of
Johanna Powell
