Fluttering candles, a living portrait of dusk
Nuances a gathering
Brought together by a feast
Suculent with memory
Sharing a burden of life
Eases the pain purposely relived
Each word, each gesture shown
A beautiful dance facially woven
An exercise of reflection
Teaching value, deepening understanding
A wisdom born of emptiness
A blurred comprehension of sacrifice
Grateful for the nourishment of love
Yet angered at having to go on alone
An unavoidable macabre
Wounds of the living, scattered across time
Dripping sorrow
