And The World Carries On

The plates will still shift

And the clouds will still spew.

The sun will slowly rise

And the moon will follow too.

Life’s beauty will continue

To flourish all around,

But now you are gone, 

These birds have no sound.

And my heart does not beat.

It is still inside my chest.

My tears keep on falling

And my head will not rest.

But I have no choice only

To move through this life.

Endlessly attempting

To fill this longing that is rife.
