Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

Time Stands Still

time stands still
slow the pace of life
a howling silence
surreal as autumn tenor

all shades of grey
droop overhead
eyes soaking up
most somber thoughts 

piano notes gather in the clouds
blaring echoes of solitude
as silver teardrops collect
in a hollow heart
