Beloved Daughter

By Constance_

I am holding a bouquet of pink flowers
My dress is lovely
Hair so raven, surrounds me
The wind drifts, lazily blowing across
A vast sea of headstones
Swallowed up by mist and blackness
Pages of the Holy Book flutter, slowly
Strange and lovely words falling
Silence . . . engults me . . .  isolation
Grandpa is smiling, come, he whispers
Little trickles of tears flow down
His wrinkled cheek
Daddy is next to me . . . why Daddy
Are you crying, you never do
Mommy and Grandma are weeping
Faces of those I love, float
I feel like I am in a fog
Drops of tears fall on me
I want to cry, but I cannot
And then all is darkness
And my flowers droop and wilt
I am so afraid
And waiting
And I scream
