death, has not been kind to me lately
its darkness has invaded my space,
all the chambers of my heart
and the once silken nebulae of my soul
death, its solemn has stolen my smile
taken the Sun away in those moments
when i needed light and warmth and
my breath without labor
death takes the song that once inspired verve
now struggles to find the tune
harmony has given way to dissonance
treble has found a home in the base clef
when once the Sun’s golden hand touched my eyes
and an aviary of life would lift my spirit
in the morning’s awakening loft, now a
dredge prevents my soul to rise
death is, incessant tears leaving folded paths
about my cheeks on unwanted wrinkles
of my face from unmitigated sadness, within,
filling the caverns and crevices in all of me
the eagle within now perched to rest
awaits the sunlight to replace
the gray of death and it will once again
soar while the call of the wolf’s howl shall
praise the day and at night watch the moonsoar while the call of the wolf’s howl shall
beams kiss the sea
The loss of song, or singing when

is a deep way of describing grief. Wow.
it is a reality. pain and sadness are consequences of loss. it is dark in most cases but it is a part of life. gracias for visiting susan !
DeleteDeath scares me but it has been kind to my father, mother, sister, aunts, uncles and pets who were just as loved. It was they who were strong and my weakness still remains. I get my strength from a great wife and loving friends and the love of animals. The sun bring warmth and a hope that death will be kind to me someday.
ReplyDeletethanks for your visit and leaving your thoughts
Deletedeath is, incessant tears leaving folded paths..
ReplyDeleteSuch a powerful and poignant image.
Been to the space, could feel your heartfelt words....
ReplyDeleteI can feel the depth of grief in these lines. I especially like the ones Susan mentioned......beautiful, my friend.
ReplyDeleteI can feel the loss and pain, this was beautifully written. Death does take the song away from a grieving heart, but one can hope a new melody will stir somewhere over the horizon.
ReplyDeleteA song with much pain and loss...and to this day, this song visits and stays until it is ready to leave.

I felt these words to the pit of my being...hauntingly beautiful and sad.
Very weighty piece, though its ultimately triumphant.
ReplyDeletePowerfully emotive. Love and Light to you
ReplyDeleteSo it is for me too, just now. You have said it most truly..
ReplyDeleteWhat a reminder death is do all that we can, love all who we care for and be thankful for all the gifts we have received.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sad song. Death, we can't stop it, but we can own it at least the pain and the redemption.
