Silent Consolements Vaulting crags called down to one, who cried within the crib, Squalling shrieks of unmet need that hailed to no avail; Voiceless hopes were whispered on the rasping desert winds. Scents from coarsely pillared halls would sooth with subtle kiss; Lakes like mirrors mimed the stars from vales in mountains tall; Vaulting crags called down to one, who cried within the crib. Shadows pooled in pulseless ponds where aimless fancies swim; Hints of sagebrush shrugged the dark where with a fragrant lull Voiceless hopes were whispered on the rasping desert winds. Streams in yawning canyons raced beneath their tufting mists, Leaping down cascading cliffs, and guarding every fall, Vaulting crags called down to one, who cried within the crib. Dawn and dusk each passed in turn with burning pastel drift; Colors paused on peak and plain where passing all the while Voiceless hopes were whispered on the rasping desert winds. Life began in bleak despair too deep for one to live; Sorrows crushed a tiny heart, but soundless through the pall, Vaulting crags called down to one, who cried within the crib— Voiceless hopes were whispered on the rasping desert winds.

"Life began in bleak despair too deep for one to live; Sorrows crushed a tiny heart, but soundless through the pall, Vaulting crags called down to one, who cried within the crib— Voiceless hopes were whispered on the rasping desert winds." Hard hitting, powerful write, sweets.. Enjoyed. |

Excellent job, I really enjoyed. Thanks for sharing here with us. Sometimes we have to follow a stronger voice, even if it's silent. |
