When sorrow rang And tears flooded the valley Storms crossed their eyes With flashes of lightning As thunder echoed inside The mountains were laid low And the torrent filled the streets When sorrow sang soft and sweet Hands were raised up In their fruitless plea Tremble, the unfaithful servant One and all in their shame Upon the land once abundant Vain washing of filth away Defiled with all their wanton weep When sorrow sang soft and sweet Blind the guardians were As doom stole in through the night Footsteps haunted by wailing cries Too late for the mourner’s lament To kill the anguish inside Only darkness that follows their feet When sorrow sang soft and sweet When sorrow rang In countless voices, dirges unheeded The flood of countless tears Washes not the stains away Of a thousand tortured years But drowns all together in death’s deep When sorrow sang, soft and sweet |

I'm hearing music everywhere tonight.  I confess that the title didn't "grab" me, but the poem did. Well-written, with a soft, angst and flow that I found compelling. Enjoyed. |

WordMagician~ You've totally captured me with this penning~ It tops out as my best read of the day~ (that's going some distance !) And this - 'When sorrow sang soft and sweet' - could easily be a beautiful title~ Thank you, thank you~ *Huglets*  ~*Marge*~ ~*When the heart grieves over what it has lost, |
