Old is the soul that is sad and weary
As the ebony shadows of long night,
Once again folds over to enclose
The tattered mind that seeks respite.

Whisper gently in the quiet and dark
Know the lost dreams of fathoms deep;
Seek the rocky canyons of buried mind
That grants the peace of lasting sleep.

Red rivers run long, wide, and slow
To be carried on the salt tide rising,
At the distant end of a somber day
Echoes a broken song that is dying.


Lady Noggins
aka Wordancer

...come, dance with me...in my world of words...

LadyNoggins~
This is so lovely.
There is a serene sadness to it.

'Red rivers run long, wide, and slow'
Beautiful images here.

Dear Lady Noggins; this is beautiful. You write so well, this poem flows like the river you write of, a haunting refrain.  Ellie

Summers haunting melody
that awakens
the butterflies,
calling them to join
the dance
in their silent song
of praise to God.
