The last dance of regret



Deep was the voice that rumbled
with the silver-gray sheet
that swathed the skies in an instant.
The words, an abrupt chill
that sunk into every essence within its reach.
Shoulders drooped with the tail of every creature
as the meaning absorbed into their soul,
and regrets danced their last dance
on empty, deserted stages,
unworthy of thought and awareness...

  5. I love that silver-gray sheet swathing the skies...

    Well- if the show lasts but an instant and only one is there to see it, then it's been worth it.

  7. regret is like thunder...it sneaks up suddenly with a terrifying realization, that somethings cannot be undone. Powerful words Shadow.
