Requiem Driven Strings ~ Two for Tuesdays Prompt VI

Christmas is usually a time to celebrate

The birth of a holy child

~

But for some

There are a few requiem strings

Attached to a young boy

Who needed time out

From exams

To clear his mind

Driven

To the depths

Of a river

Near his home

~

Some hear the music of stars

At Christmas

See glittering gifts

And read the colours

Of happy cards

~

Some hear

Water music

Tumbling over

Unforgiving

Stones

See old grey storm clouds

And read the crumbled

Fading note

Yet again
