Two Poems from our Funerals Poetry Collection

 
 
THE ABSTRUSE JUSTICE
   
Author: Megha Chaturvedi
   
Poem:
THE ABSTRUSE JUSTICE
   
 
The abstruse justice

A girl jilted by destiny, orphaned at nine
Too innocent to understand life, to fear death
Busy catching butterflies, making castles of the sand
The handkerchief her mother had pinned, still intact
With a Barbie doll in hand
Expected to cry, forced to react
She is dragged to her parents’ funeral.
The protective shell had cracked
Rays of darkness entered
Darkness-not an acceptable state but absolute absence
Ready to engulf that souls innocence.
The symphony of silence transforming
into the church ceremony’s wistful laments.
Oblivious of death-the ultimate justice of god,
She is still unaware of the brevity of life.
Floating in the imaginary castles free from gravity
Far away from reality
She feels safe like still in the cocoon
But Alas, dreams don’t last.

HEAVEN SINGS WHEN MOM ARRIVES
   
Author: Kathleen Blanchett
   
Poem: HEAVEN SINGS WHEN MOM ARRIVES
   

The sun doesn't shine as brightly as it did the day before.
But, the Son of God is smiling,
Because another mother has walked through Heaven's door.
Our loss makes the world seem out of tilt somehow.
It makes the sky seem not quite as blue.
But, Heaven sings of her praises and joys,
Because, another mother, my mother, has entered through.

Those of us that are left behind
We feel cheated that she is now gone.
But we often forget that God does not give us moms,
He loans them, then takes them home.
We can ask God why He takes them away
But often the answer goes untold.
Because moms are made by the hand of God
To carry out their jobs and God's goals.

So, cry for Mom when God calls her home.
It's good to miss her dearly as you should.
But, remember that God doesn't punish by taking her away.
Instead, He empowers us to do as He would.
In all of God's creations, in all of this universe in which we roam,
Nothing hurts more than to lose a mom.
But, it teaches our spirits faith and God blesses us by taking her home.

Weep not for the dead, for they are in the presence of God.
But, weep for the newborn and remember that the mother who cradles that
Child has a most serious job ahead to perform.
