“ Withering”


 


An example


This will be


Of a flight


So real upon the beauty of my heart


Upon the vision of my mind


As the loneliness of my heart


Withers away


Love was lost


But it was found… far away


Beneath the stormy skies


Where love and joy


Laughing out to the sky


To awake a flame of fire


Dancing upon a shooting star


Deep within my mind


Moon so bright


Against a starlit night


Ever more


Was this lover’s flight


To the tally of my soul


And the beauty of it all


Mocks upon the corridor of my heart


All but silent it came to me


As the loneliness of my heart


Withers away


Love was lost


But was found


Very far away!!

Loneliness is a hard duck to quack. You whither it well.

Hey, do any of us know where love does come from or where it goes when it departs? If I did I would make millions counselling the lovelorn, instead I am just another of the same...you are most prolific this day...Peace, Ed & Rufuz
