Night and Music of the Bereft

The flipside of the day Brings a lot of melodies Of painful journals At most the moon and stars are dead For those eyes that lament for the beloved The breezy sound of the wind Doesn't bring a beautiful song of serenity Instead a tune of sinister Darker than the night Because the lullabies of every nocturnal An echoing elegies For those who were left behind Sightseeing imaginary images Whispering song for them Every night Still dying inside 5-25-2016 Mysterious Aries

Grief encompasses all that we are and only time can release us slowly from its grip. Your poem expresses this with such depth and beauty Frederick. This is excellent! 7 ; )
