The Voice of Orpheus

I didn’t want her passing away

She did die, unasked, unseen, unloved

Crest fallen, I invoked the Omniscient!

Grant Her, at least for a prayer

I slept all this days, fitfully though

Her spectral figure gulled me

Brimmed hope spilled over

She was not happy either in interred state!

The voice of Orpheus gladdened all

Knelt before the Mighty, begged to see

All mortals dived deep in joy

A drop of faith brought fall!

Fought with none, none worth

It rent the righteous, sunk in
