SHAKING THE HEAVENS

He stood above her body,
and shook the heavens with his soul,
as if it might bring her soul back
like an apple from a tree,
that she might walk again,
smile again, breathe again,
live again.
But he knew,
there was no way that he could do that,
and that the war with heaven
in his heart,
was in vain.
