One Poem by Jaime Bell


Sula


When you ruled the world, the heavens shone bright.
With glorious youth and beauty you reigned.
But time advances, and day becomes night.

You were the eldest, your fathers delight.
All those around you were paled by your flame.
When you ruled the world, the heavens shone bright.

You and Grandfather, a breathtaking sight,
Through good times and bad your love never waned.
But time advances, and day becomes night.

Children and grandchildren, all see your plight.
But we know your love for us is not feigned.
When you ruled the world the heavens shone bright.

Life will move on and extinguish your light;
Though you try hard, we can still see your pain.
But time advances and day becomes night.

I have your Golden Years, impending twilight.
The stories you share are my knowledge gained.
When you ruled the world, the heavens shone bright.
But time advances, and day becomes night.

{Poetry by Jaime Bell}

Beautiful.

Like a flower of deep expression.

In a puddle of knowledge.
