the loneliness of silent solemnity sounds
its softened voice so hushed by scars of fate
until the breaking of the guard abounds
as laughter-less liquors recede and then abate

to drink us in, to drink us down
in mem’ries so quickly gone
in mem’ries so quietly done
in mem’ries so bathed in lucid tones and hues

that color us with broad brushstrokes of fear
of that which we recall, of that which we re-call
to shame our hearts to silent solemnity
closing our hearts, scarring our souls

by mem’ries moribund resonance
sounding against the breakwater of our souls

this had classic undertones to it...but I cannot pinpoint the author...outstanding write, hauntingly beautiful...bittersweet...and needs to go back up to the top for all to savor

Indeed, a classic

So very good to read you again.
The weave is very intentional on this write, and the hum of the heart within it resounds long after the final line.

Touched me.
