Final Song

Soulful chorus
wistful cries,
guitar strums
last goodbye,

bereaved ears
melodies speak,
breaking hearts
rhythmic beats,

lyrics rain
mirrored skies,
shattered tears
brittle eyes,

as sombre
mourners sing

I really like the structure of your poem Joanna. I like how you describe the emotions of the song rather than writing direct lyrics to describe the loss of a friend. It's both clever and heartfelt. Cheers - Gary

Nice song ... We are all passengers on this earth. No one will be here forever. Just always say thank you Lord ... " It is night then morning will come." A living ... Person.... Is... always ...better / because ...he " she" breathing.... well.

Thank you. Such beautiful words. I appreciate your comment and taking the time to read my poem. I wrote this after my best friend died. She was only 40. She got her wings just before because Christmas. It's a special poem and came straight from the heart.

Thank you. I am happy with how it turned out. Some pomes are easier to write than others. This one wrote it self.
