Whispers in a cursing wind
Anger in stormy skies
Rain falling like mournful tears
Fear in the heart
Panic and torment
in the mind.

the mighty oak falls
  and all the forest weeps, their

  above the canopy, as

A smile hides sometimes
The deep feelings of the soul
Hidden from outside
With a transparent armor
Covering like a black veil

Premium Member Bleating Lamb

Lord,
Let me view the world
At each new dawn,
Through childish eyes.
Fixate my thoughts,
Not on sounds
Of an awakening city,
But the mournful cry
Of one bleating Lamb.

tenuous strands 
lithely tethering 
the soul to reality... 
strummed unevenly 
by life 

sharp notes 
compose  
a subtle dirge 
of mournful 
ambivalence

Reckoning Storm

With eyes that see and ears that hear,
but hearts that look away

Each child unkept—all life bereft,
to rue these mournful days

For the sweet bird contest.

Lost

I see the mournful look
In his teary eyes
While I rate what a woman 
Means to a man
The look that tells me more 
Of a lost hope
A look that speaks the wish 
To be with the lost soul

Premium Member At Trumpets' Blast

at trumpets' blast
    at snaredrums' roll
  flautists pipe
    bells mournful toll ...

  doors creak late evening
    owls hoot at will
  Is yon graveyard still
    high on the hill

One Less Song

one less song in the night air
mournful, the nightingale's shrill
when the evening shadows stretch
one less lament carried on the breeze

(this was inspired by a bird's egg, smashed on my sidewalk)
