A Siren's Wail

One day sirens will cross the roads wailing, In an attempt to clear the blocked paths, Immovable stones, lifeless souls, To avoid mishaps A faint heartbeat persists, A hopeless sound None too sweet Unheard by the passer byes Heard by the birds in skies Sirens will continue wailing Chasing across the endless roads With a hope too high too fatal Occupied by a person Unconscious inside With breaths too shallow Too low to decipher. The sirens will go on wailing Followed by none Mourned by none One day Amidst the siren wailing The heart beats Those now countable breaths Will fade One day That heart beat will stop Sighs will be blessed Breathes will collapse The soul will finally escape Between the siren's wail.
