Bittersweet pyre


Raindrops on the window pane
My world wanes
Time’s sands shift

A lifetime’s single goodbye
The soul sighs
Irrevocably altered

I am the stranger in the crowd
Society’s eyes shroud  

The curtain rises
Voices in unison
Theatre’s fire berthing
Dew kissed sunrises of a youthful spring
Twilight’s waltz upon an empty stage

The thunder rolls
Chinese lanterns sparkle in the ashen gray
Scripted characters on papyrus
Etched in the soul
The timbre’s requiem
In a November 5th pyre 

Kindred spirits lips touch.
