on gratitude

✴︎

After the eulogy
No music, thank you

Let silence fill the room
Its clamour echo from the rafters
Its cacophony fill our heads
Its weight press on our ears

Let us hear the beating of hearts

      Melanie, thank you. Music can be overdone. Awkward silence is not always a bad thing.

        And very apt for funeral.

    Beautiful use of juxtaposition. It’s a soft thud.
