It Doesn'T Matter

There's that sound again
A sound of dying 
And the company of a friend

In this twilight shine
Black ash and a silver cloud
This sliver of hope makes a dumb man proud

It doesn't matter
If to the left or right this wind blows
This is as high as my poor heart can go

That laughter in the foreground
Flocks of hair flying towards the sky
A mountaintop kissed by Eden within

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
