Death in the Mountains
So it ends, like this. A moment silent, filled
with past, present, the not-to-be beneath snow-crusted trees in a frosty morning light,
the brightness perfect, pure
difficult to endure, but you must. Time fills with a blessed
here-and-now,
the warmth of moments lived give peace to preparations, to gatherings, reconciliations as the whitest of lights descends to flare, then soften, to fade at last in the dusky night of death. |
