In Memoriam, Katherine Perumal, 21 October 1946 - 13 April 2006

In Memoriam...

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 

Another turn of the calendar, 

I’ve not returned to these pages, 

I forgot I owned these words, 

Chafed by life’s starched edges,

Spring has come by again, 

On its winds a familiar susurrus, 

A pain that’s never left my heart, 

On its broken surface, a naevus,

It’s the 13th of April, 

13 Years from that day, 

A lot has come to pass since then, 

But your love will never be carried away,

I relive the smallest memories, 

Your life’s song preserved in mine, 

I see Your sacrifices sonorously, 

Awed by the mountains You climbed, 

I love You ma, 

I know You needed the rest, 

I miss You ad infinitum, 

Your words, when I’m not at my best,

I know You watch over us,

Loving and caring was always Your way, 

Turn Your eyes to them that need You, 

For now, that’s all I Pray…
