Now Still...a poem

Now Still

Do you remember, do you?

Now still forever and ever

Chained grief

Tears now still

No longer able to cry

Laying on a hill

But someone else will cry

Someone else will laugh

Someone else will always remember

The smile

Now still

Someone else will dance

Someone else will sing

Yet they too hold in lasting sorrow

As you sleep on the hill

We will dance, and laugh, and cry and sing, and remember

As you sleep on the hill

And we will remember.
