THE WITHERED WREATH

 

The withered wreath upon the ground

All but a year since Christmas past;

A gesture then sincere profound,

To fade away not meant to last.

 

Traversing link from past to future,

Remembering those no longer here;

Memories to recall and nurture,

Those now in another sphere.

 

All are creatures of time and space,

Regardless of our earthly goods;

Existing here within our place,

Tied to chattels, subject of moods.

 

But once the curtain line is parted,

Past and future to reveal;

The knowledge to us thus imparted,

For us then in awe to reel.
