Mile

Drenched all over and pupils soaked Down, this season, a nostalgic walk A storm, within, of emotions cloaked Remnant of treason remains to stalk Contemptuous breach of a covenant shared You drifted away to regal sounds Calamity befell less fortunate, spared My suffering, apparently, knows no bounds This ride, in ways, is new to find Each step drawn deeper, I deign Tears of heaven and mine, combined Abridged, somewhat, sorrows reign Sinking daylight, hopes relinquish Fading mirage intent on proving Tranquil drive allures to vanquish Keeps the undead, however, moving Each moment spent, not unremembered Each rise, and fall, is but a smother And soul, from body, is when dismembered By the side of you, will rest another Note: This can be read as a reply to "Deliverance"

OOOH, that last line is so sad, a treason to break a heart. A wonderful story - makes me wonder if based on reality in your life. I find most of mine touch on something going on in mine. Good to hear from you dear friend! Hugs to you

"Keeps the undead, however, moving." Great line. And the last two are Universally Transcendental. Much enjoyment. daver

I guess we couldn't write unless we had the full range of emotions and could interpret what we see. You are unique dear friend in your feeling and seeing Hugs, Lizzie :)

You can't hold on to someone who doesn't want to be held but, take comfort in the fact that sun always follow the rain.
