The Lost

The Lost

A Poem by Doug

 

A minstrel’s prayer

Echoes in the rain-

A woeful lament

Sung to honor the pain-

 

So cold, so cold

No life, no breath-

A mournful lament

Sung to honor the death-

 

A violin’s sweet voice

Brings forth a tear-

A despairing lament

Why should death interfere?

Death is always a hard thing to write, unless we have
experienced that deep pain of loss............a sorrowful
piece and also lovely in the word movement and flow.

Oh yes but there is beauty in the despair... the violin is a masterstroke. I notice you say that you have not been writing for long and this is the first of your pieces I have read. It seems that you have poetry in your soul. Lovely read and would be fantastic set to some classical music.
