Memories Be Still

Alone in silent  reverie

The quiet of the night seeps in

Air chilled by remorse

 

The same scenario over and over

Broken only for short spells

Scenes trapped forever in time

 

Darkness prevails

Aided not by the light

Of moon , nor candle

 

No hand shall guide this wandering soul

No voice shall echo laughter

Adrift on  the sea of nevermore

For now and ever after

 

Be still thy silent memory

Be calm a restless heart

For this is life’s greatest plan

And you must play the part

Memories Be Still

The first line pulled me in, for I love Sarah Mclaughlan [In The Arms of The Angels] Lots of emotion expressed well here Chrys. Loved the last stanza! ______________________________________________________ Income-tax forms should be more realistic by allowing the taxpayer to list "Uncle Sam" as a dependent Anonymous

I like

this poem, my favorite part are the lines in the fourth stanza. "No hand shall guide this wandering soul No voice shall echo laughter Adrift on the sea of nevermore For now and ever after"
