tales of sorrow







can you hear the tales of sorrow
sung by the howling wind
hurtling through the trees toward
cliffs where they rescind
into the deafening silence locked
in a broken heart
can you feel the mournful wind
from this world depart

  13. I can hear them... So loud and clear that it hurts. I hope I can change a little bit of something, but I feel so powerless. Bless you for these words, God.

  16. Gratitude List: I'm glad G-Man commented two times!

    Shadow, you excel--the photo, the words, no wonder you have 346 followers. I'm glad to be part of the crowd.

    How can you "poem-and-picture peeps" be so creative day after day? Admiration is all I have to give back to you, and my thanks.

    "deafening silence locked
    in a broken heart..." who of us has NOT been there? Beautiful!

    Peace

  21. Your words define my feelings today. How did you know? "This too shall pass". God bless you Shadow for sharing your amazing talent.

  22. Wow. That took me right to places I have been before. It reminded me of cold winds through barren trees at a time of broken heart and keen despair.

    But I'm not there anymore, glad of it, and thankful for the reminder of how good I have it now.

  23. they moan like a mourning dirge. broken hearts are hard to miss. beautifully told, i feel it.

    ReplyDelete
  24. I've felt this way. It's always a relief to know the mournful wind will depart, and joy cometh in the morning. I think the Psalmist said, Weeping may remain for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. Joy to you again.

  25. I'm feeling it today but doing my best to get out of sorrow and into gratitude.

  26. I have heard many things in the wind.

    I easily got your meaning. I have felt that too.

  27. There are more things sung by the wind and locked in a broken heart that can ever be revealed.

  31. Yes,I can hear it.
    And to be honest,
    sometimes it comforts
    me because it's so
    familiar and then I
    know I can grow stronger
    from it.Like any wound,
    we are left scars-sorrow
    simply leaves reminders
    of the things we cannot change.
    xoxo

    it it marvelous, I might say it is my favourite one so far. It feels so autentic. It reminds me of poe's prose, the sorrow you both express, and the perfect way of writting it.

    I think you are great
