Alone in the darkness

of her garden she wilts,

Her once vibrant light

shines no more,

The sweet colours of her petals

bleed slowly from her,

The last shimmer of life

dully ebbs to the cold floor,

And with wounds left unhealed

by the breadth of endless time,

Her frail, broken body

finally crumbles beneath her,

Falling rapidly through

the abyss of slow beating pain,

To the rotting undergrowth

where strong roots of hope once were,

And like a loving mother calling

her sweet child to come home,

The dank, wet earth wraps itself

around her dying soul,

She takes comfort in the cold

and dark of nothingness,

Where nothing and noone

exist anymore.

WOW, another GREAT one!   fantastic J! nice to read your poetry again  

Yes, I am here, but I am dead, not alive,
my body goes on, my spirit has died,
and I though alive, feel dead inside.
