Lost

by Lipton   Dec 31, 2004


Soft... The crisp wind blows.
The petals of the rose fly,
Forever into shadow.

Soft... The mourning moon,
Bathing me in its pale light.
I walk in silence.

Darkness hides my tears,
I'm forgotten in my own mind.
Nothing makes much sense...

Entranced by all around,
It's like I've never seen life.
Just a world of death.

Breathe in the cold air,
A frosty puff answers me.
Close my tired eyes.

My mind sees nothing,
Just the darkness that was there.
Nothing seems to change.

Life seems hopeless, now.
I'm not who I thought I was.
I lift my pale face.

Inconcievables...
They are dancing within me.
Stare into points of light.

The stars... how charming,
Yet their beaming light scoffs at me,
I swallow hard, relief.

A heavy sigh ousted,
I shake my weary head.
I cry one more tear.

I make my way back,
Into judgment I now fall,
Forever, unsure...

    You have drawn an intriguing contrast between the beauty of the night and the melancholy mood. I really liked the imagery you created here.
