Rugged Rainbow

Looks of Love cast down

 

Tips of shovels scrape and scream

 

As your body burns

 

The dirt squirms and churns

 

There are no tombstones, graves, or last words

 

No not here

 

Instead of swallowing sadness

 

We are constructing color

 

The gray of concrete construes your strength

 

Grains of green and boards of brown show your support

 

Brightness of brick bellows your journey,

 

One stone at a time

 

Pretty Pink, heartshaped and center, beats your passion

 

Reds of roses rest behind representing your beauty

 

Flaunts of flowers fill us with your cheer

 

This place your ashes have left 

 

Yet not all the lives you impressed 

 

They lingered long 

 

You built them, now they build you

 

Each helping hand you lent, is now returned 

 

Hope is clasped in the frozen fingers of faith 

 

Reaching together to rise your rugged rainbow
