The mourners stood round, One or two cried the odd tear, A tearful adieu for my spirited soul, All that remains now - a black chasm of fear. Such spirit pounded and hounded unmercifully, Yet still it fought on as long as it could, Growing smaller and weaker day by day, Similar to a monk's retreat under his hood. So valiantly it tried to sustain itself, Seeking shelter, peace and enlightenment, After years of poisonous emotional barbs, It gratefully accepted your banishment. I called my friends and family around, To share with me my loss, Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, And you were the first with a fistful of dirt to toss. My spirit, my soul is now gone, How I mourn it's passing, So many times I begged for understanding, My reward? Pain everlasting. So come one, come all, Stand beside the grave with me, Mourn with me, shed a tear, For with my soul's departure, nothing can save me. < !signature--> I'll tell you this...... No eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting the dawn..... ~Isis~ (Goddess - Sovereign of the Spirit) [This message has been edited by Isis (edited 08-01-2000).] |

~Oh my, Isis,...I don't know what to say. This is haunting in it's sense of realism. I won't stand and watch,...I'll fight (for you). Isis, hoping you are well. *Peace. |

Hi Isis, long time no see my friend And what a pleasure to read such an incredible poem! This is a strong piece, and some very unique images as well."Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night." -Edgar Allen Poe |

Isis, I feel for you. I'm reminded of my old signaturewhich read "when dark of night steals your soul think of me and be made whole". It was written on a tombstone. The poem was great even death can't separate us from loved ones. Be well Kethry. "It is the image in the mind that links us to lost treasures; but it is the loss that shapes the image, gathers the flowers weaves the garland."- Cole |
