A Time of Waking - Jeff Rooney

[Larry Robinson]

A Time of Waking
 
It is a time of waking with morning tears
and a time of mourning.
 
It is a time of waking to the smell of death
in smoke filled air.
 
A smell so strong it penetrates the waters
and arises within the waters.
 
It is a death so vast it will not have a name on this earth but only beyond in the reaches of time and space.
 
It is a death that is now hollowing out what is in our vision, leaving a thinning veil of the beauty of life we have known.
 
It is a death that will now be known to the young.
 
It is a death with sorrows that no well can hold.
 
It is a death that visits the poverty of the mind and is known to the lingering spirits that live in the forever world.
 
It is a time of waking with morning tears and a time of mourning.
