Death, Where Are You

Afar I can still see a glow Of lights dimmed to low And sounds echoing hollow Death, where are you.. Sway of lone pine tree In a forlorn waltz by the sea Begging you to set me free Death, where are you.. Robbed of my only true love Emotions raw on the wings of a dove Breathless cries high above Death, where are you.. What of destiny And the arms of infinity Have you forsaken me Death, where are you..

What's amazing to me is how intensely you can portray the emotions you've expressed--You can't just intellectualize them either; you have to be able to feel them. I can't imagine feeling the raw wounds, the longing for death on the 'whim' of a lovers' abandonment...Guess I'm getting old, and you, my dear, are forever young! More power to you! Outstanding write, Line! :) gw

Somehow the happiness of death is hidden from us. But it seems like we really do not die. What dies are our sins and miseries. Nice write my friend.

So sad when you think that some welcome death as they do not have the strength to go on in life. Tom. Good luck.
