Passing Through

Nobody came to the party The lights were set down low Nobody came to the party It was like they didn’t know The music touched your soul Crept inside, never letting go The spirits passed through Glancing around Like they knew Something didn’t ring true They waited for a time As the night stayed on hold Nobody would say the words They just knew Nobody was coming to the party Not now, not ever They closed the door Wanting to get away Trying not to speak Begin another day The spirits waited Like they knew too Nobody came to the party They were all just passing through

So sad. But we are all just passing through, n'est-ce pas? Spirits need fun in social settings, too! :)

A sense of melancholy throughout. Very well written somber piece. Even the spirits knew... that caught my attention. Great use of repetition here. Thanks for your visit to my page.

This is so deeply moving and has a catchy rhythm too to it, almost lyrical, and the refrain “ nobody came to the party” stood out for me, loved the flow too dear paul! Pleasure reading this touching poem, sending you light always
