Music Within Her Soul

The music within her soul Gave her joy from the start Love completed her, made her whole Dwelling serenely within her heart Then a melancholy gust began to blow! And uprooted the love she once knew Soon, her tears began to flow, She cried a river, as wistful winds blew From these brokenhearted dirges none are immune, Love can bring sorrow or make her glad Now, each beat of her heart was out of tune Love's beautiful melody had become sad Soon, she will be thirsty for love's sweet refrain And her heart will take wings and fly Love will awaken once again For through all eternity, love does not die 5-16-18 A Poem About Death - Contest Sponsor: Broken Wings

Very poetic love ballad, both happy and sad. I especially relish the ending. That is such the truth and I've never thought of it that way. There is no end to love as long as humans walk the planet. Cool! Your poem lifted me from my funk!
