In Best Belief

(written four months ago and far from being resolved)

hearts weep in silence

eyes mist with pain

over and over

a record plays

when will we see you again

when will we see you again

my love

when will we see you again

when the last of birch leaves

flutter down

in a flurry resembling rain

till then my love

on hopes we cling

we'll sing a song of best belief

we'll sing a song of memories

and beg it's not in vain

'...when the last of birch leaves
flutter down
in a flurry resembling rain' -
You portray the emotions with this above line in such a vivid way, that I got completely carried away..
What a powerful imagery, dear Chris..
Sometimes, life brings some painful turns but with "song of best belief", this too shall pass, probably.

I see a young wife; I hear 'There'll be bluebirds over the white cliffs of Dover'; I glimpse a young soldier faraway in a muddy trench writing a letter home as he awaits imminent battle. Two souls ...waiting and longing, fearing the worst, hoping for the best ..hoping it's not in vain.

God, I hope it is not in vain.
It has to happen. I am well aware of the reason for this one...
and my heart breaks when I think of the cause behind these words.
