The Silent Subway


You wonder how deep your sorrow will be
When the first snow of the season falls?

It is November, the 11th month of grieving
In yet another year growing old.

It is time to realize that even golden memories
Are not enough to sustain you till you’re done.

And springtime will never again bring back lilac
Blossomings of the past.

Yet, fragrant memories persist in the mind as
the Silent Subway runs beneath your feet.

Miles and miles of darkened earth pass all too
Swiftly between you and eternity.
