~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It seems like the darkness,
Risking tears, - erasing the prayers
So sensitive, kissing away all the fears
Dancing through the leaves, enchantment
Like winds, collecting all the light
In gently flowing moon song, beads of hope
Glistening on the night, starlight
Reflections, brilliant and alive, surviving
Eternal infections, abiding on the spirit
Who listens as the wind forsakes the past
With its expressions of graceful wishes,
Collecting on the endings, the storybook
Endings, blowing in the breeze
Stirring up the miracles, covering every
Need with a feeling, a feeling meant to be
Peace, sweet peace falling over the land,
Resonating on the seas, waves tossing
Tumbling with the melancholy in the grief
It is the grief that sees…
Grief, such grief – spellbound, she grieves
Erasing the mystery with her doubts,
Her sorrow like a pool of blood, dark and crimson
Flowing from the wounds who revealed
The truth – his heart was cruel. He was vicious
A criminal. A crime, the destruction of a life,
A sentence of life would never suffice
What he had done – what he had done was
The craziest darkness, a dark more ominous
Than the sinister in his shadow, the doom
Predicting his heartless war, a war with himself
Bleeding into another’s breath when he
Took away her breath, cut away her smile,
Left her lifeless body – motionless, frozen in time
Her memory, her sacrifice – his ending
To the story of her life!
for Monica
