Whisper soft the rain that fell,
Careless winds are stilled this morn.
Gone the stealthy shadows lost,
The night has passed the day is born.
Stirring is the dream of being,
deep within the mourners breast.
Sorrowed eyes, no light, unseeing,
Hands are clasped, within, unrest.
Rosary beads, the broken dreams,
Prayers unheard, by him, unknown
No compassion, no forgiveness,
No hope from him who bears the crown.
Soft fall the tears within the chapel,
Half stifled sobs, her haunting cries.
His life has passed and her's is empty,
No questions answered, no replies.
A dark day indeed.But into our life a few tears will flow. Such a moving poem full of sadness
I think this is your best form. You have an excellent command of rhyme and rhythm which is well-suited to classic poetry. Good poem.
A poignant write to dwell in, savouring, you have the gift - Cindy
A stirring and emotional poem that hauntingly takes me to a mournful conclusion. It is written with dignity and grace by a much admired poet. 10 Karin Anderson
your poems run so freely and elegantly, this is truely beautiful
Even the title is lovely, your words are like eating decadent chocolate or luxuriating in silk and velvet. I am enchanted. Susan

This is very excellent writing. And also it is slightly depressing- and that's not an unusual thing amongst good poetry.
