Asphalt Epitaph

  

Within the calm

       Before the witching hour

A single streetlight

       Casts an epiphany

Upon a lonely shadow

       Liquefying in the wind

The only salvation

       Are dust particles

Weighing it down

       Into the virgin asphalt

Now the pavement

       Becomes the epitaph

With out a written word

       It tells of a soul

That lived with emotions

       Like its surface

And now will spend eternity

       Watching the journey.

This is profound and has incredible message...Great imagery and feel to this piece. Brilliant work...

I have a new favorite write.
The title is very catchy and appealing, (it's why I clicked on this write before any of the other ones)

This is a very profound write here and the imagery you only enhances the message which I think is everything lasts forever, on some level or another. I like it just all on its own as well.

What a profound write, filled with shadows and light... illumination on pavement and on our minds as well. So well done!

OH Dale! How great this is! I'd add this to my favourites but something like this doesn't belong in there to collect dust. It's lovely!

[Tracie Skarbo]

Oh wow...I LOVE this!

It tells of a soul
That lived with emotions
Like its surface
And now will spend eternity
Watching the journey.

This is my favorite part. Another brilliant addition to my favs!
