I Stood Chilly Vigil

Grief is a rollercoaster. One minute you are good and suddenly you are caught in a whirlwind of loops and turns and instantly… it stops.

I stood chilly vigil
over your stone.
A distant train
cried in the morning air…
haunting me.

Sounds of life call out – 
sirens, traffic, birds 
as you bare silent witness,
never answering, never stirring – 
Life always moves on.

    The scene in this photo reminds me of being near Fitzpatricks corner.
