Tears at mourning time

Copyright Robert Fullarton 2014

Dark red wine
fused by the setting sun
amber
gold
and silver sea below

Tears at mourning time
for the man that passed away
Laughter for youth
as we catch our breath
and breadth of vision
under the dark red wine
and amber vista

Mountains touch
the sea with hands
which run
to the hinterlands
over and over
through night and day
where the mountains
touch the sea
and hug the children
in the mourning tide

The dream sailor
the hope seeker
the prayer of prayers
and caller to God
waits under the son
while stars form maps
in the twinkling eyes
but dreams are sown
in feeling hearts
from mourning time
in through the door.
