Apples

It was early morning,
two hours before dawn,
when the music stopped

The gathering just came about,
an informal collection of friends,
nothing had been planned

The news of Ben's leaving spread,
the spark that brought tears,
and a night of goodbyes

He was headed back to the farm,
his childhood home waited,
to fill a dying father's void
