When the music died









When the music died,
mist rose from the ground
like rolling waves of silence,
engulfing sight and sound
in its thick white shroud,
and tears of sorrow
clung to lashes
in silent reflection,
before surrendering
to a final echo.

I am cool with everything you wrote Shadow for that is life's way, except the silent desperation part.

I may go down hungry, in poverty, aged, broken and forgotten but I will not go down without a fight.

Hope your music never really dies! I understand the poem and really like but find it sad, reminds of a dark place I was in years ago.

Peace Love Light

Ohh, I love that!!

How've you been, girl? I haven't blogged for months and I'm trying to catch up with everyone. I plan to post at least once a week (fingers crossed), so I will be around again. :)

Best wishes for 2012!
