Trepidations

In my golden sunken eyes

In see the future of my life

Fraught with uncertainty

A name without sanctity

I made a world of desires.

Lost along the line of fires

A dreadful isolated life,

Where I had so long survived

The showdown begins with the start

The ray of hope falling from my heart

I pray for the grave which death promises to take

The life that my destiny gave

The endless voyage ended with despair

Oscillating between hope and despair

Now I sleep in complete silence

A soul free from turbulence…

Grace and beauty sweeps your heart. An honesty in you and a recognition by you of a beautiful person's nature now departed. I had so many Aunt's. But the one that everyone loved as nieces and nephews was the only one that never had children. She had a wonderful endearing nature too. Anyway you sent me back to beautiful thoughts thank you for that and a well written piece. Ian Foley
