Waiting

Knarled and broken Sounds escaped long ago And echoed from wall to wall A triumphant beating of silent drums The symphony is over the conductor Has left his post so long ago Like the beating of a heart whose Last vessel has burst And yet how loud the quiet is A subliminal force felt eerily In my deepest sacred haven I yearn for any movement Any sign of life But I never imagined you Could be the master of this charade

Hi Kelli, the emotions flow through this piece and they bring out the emotions of the reader. Another excellent write Kelli. Your words paint such a sad canvas and yet by the end of the piece hope shines. We can all take something different out of each poetic piece we read. This piece is deserving of a top rating so i send you a seven....Vlad.
