i hear a distant muffled cry
i take a breath i sigh

the unclean barren streets
an eerie early twilight illuminates
the world gripped in winters lifeless stranglehold

light that dance and plays over a water rainbow
The shimmers that waltz over a frozen meadow

the trees encased in early husks
a hazy bitter mist coats the ground
the chill of a winter breeze

intoxicating petrol fumes
the air now a breathless poison
the depths of pain and sorrow fill the room

the flutter of wings above
pain hidden in hands
the guiltless tears flow

the flowers neatly presented
a gentle hush falls
a silence falls upon the mourners
the preist calmly approaches

the birds do sing a comforting lullaby
i ask myself WHY
A Final Goodbye

A final Goodbye

I Gaze into a bloodstained sky
i hear a distant muffled cry
i take a breath i sigh

the unclean barren streets
an eerie early twilight illuminates
the world gripped in winters lifeless stranglehold

light that dance and plays over a water rainbow
The shimmers that waltz over a frozen meadow

the trees encased in early husks
a hazy bitter mist coats the ground
the chill of a winter breeze

intoxicating petrol fumes
the air now a breathless poison
the depths of pain and sorrow fill the room

the flutter of wings above
pain hidden in hands
the guiltless tears flow

the flowers neatly presented
a gentle hush falls
a silence falls upon the mourners
the preist calmly approaches

the birds do sing a comforting lullaby
i ask myself WHY
A Final Goodbye
