Winter's Funeral

By Spiritus_Frumenti

Candlelight flames,
Dancing on the walls
Speaking of,
Farewells and desolation
-
Forlorn by the waves of silence
A death will approach
Only by the scent
My blood will flow again
Awakened forces of will
Inviting a sudden epiphany
That my time is now here
-
In these moments,
My soul escapes me
To much colder places
Where I cannot love
Where I cannot feel,
A single warm tear
Or any familiar faces
-
In this way I say goodbye,
To the flowers that bloom in spring
To the birds that glide in the wind
To the lakes that always stand so still
Where I have left all of my reflections...

    A beautiful way to leave your mark. The cycles of life including comings and goings. I can appreciate retracing your footprints. Nicely done.
