CD : 553 grief



a grief fills that place

a grief fills that place
where her love should have gone; and
so tears are still shed

disease grew. she left babies
no comfort can match her loss

saying good-bye to him
was even harder

tsuka mo ugoke waga naku koe wa aki no kaze
shake! o tomb!
the sound of my wailing
is the wind of autumn

at the graveyard
my brother's grave covered
with colorful leaves

Thanks for your kind words. I do review all comments before posting - so if your comment disappears on you, don't fret. I will post honorable comments as soon as I am able.

I do not post or return visits to "Anonymous Comments." Adding your link to an unrelated site will not help. Most everything that ends up in spam will not be posted, especially that which makes no sense to the post.

Any 'opinions' that are not introduced, explained and are unrelated to my post will not be honored. Having a 'legitimate' blog will not help - you will be marked as spam. You will have no voice here. Thank you.
