Breathes of Souls

The night grows heavy as the bells do toll, And tears will fall, all will behold. As deep in Gods earth is laid to rest half a soul Once entwined and beautifully blessed. Now those left behind will cry out with envy, For the peace of ages the lost holds so clearly. Those hearts left behind will cry out with the cold As bittersweet memories circle of old. Emblazoned images circle of walks once walked, As the other half now goes with God to talk. Hearts do tremble with sadness that once knew love, As time stretches, a lonely run begun. Time will carry forth until the other flies free Dispatched by deaths angel to soar with the breeze. Then those dispatched by deaths’ grim thoughts will unite Together to find peace at last. As the breathes of two souls will heal and hold fast, And love will again hold them close, at last.

Hi Carol, Cingratulations on your win in the contest. This is excellent poetry, touching deep the emotions of the reader. It is well written one just has to follow the words from begining to end. True Love is ever eternal. The dreams flow on in Love's domain. This has to be a seven Carol. Hugs....Mike. XX
