Time shadows

by Keith D Allison

Ribbons flow in the sunlight squealing
box unopened
hedges in the garden
Sweet in the maze of life
Will the water flow
or will the earth cover the pain

The grave
writes the last page
some spirit in the wall
defining the memories with courage
finding the breath in the step
till the call

You've got a bit of a typo ("will the dirt covered") in the last line of the first stanza right now, but that is certainly the worst thing to be said of this excellent poem.
