Where Spirits Lay

Where spirits lay This is a place our spirit lays, Here when those distant memories fail, Here by the sounds of a far of voice Spoken for the ravages of life Heard are words that question why, And sometimes our heart retains them, And often a soul in silence waits Expressing truth and virtue Shadows wait in a far off light As our voiceless memories fade, As man-kind once still stands eternal Held to the ravages of life Our discretion will too silent rest, Like the sound of a quiet rain, Like they who held the passing years In a place where spirits lay By m.norton marklnorton@shaw.ca
