Silent Thoughts Make Their Jaws Drop

Listen to poem:
I have no wings only cold feet of clay And I'll never touch the farthest round sky Days come quickly and pass along the way Forgotten and silent, no one asks why My dreams will never be rendered again They all died in the hollow of my mind As fragments dispersing from my dried skin Tattered reminders that were left behind I lay in blackest earth that I defend Where darkness rules and only bones survive While soil covering grows thick, I pretend My bones are found, to show I was alive I'll dissolve, only time will oversee And lay silent still, remembering me contest.. make their jaws drop

3rd line: pass or passed? This is well written, deep, deep write and I think it is excellent. The creativity and twists show much creative talent. I am impressed by how well you took me where your words went. What a ride ... CayCay
