Echoes of Despair There are no tears. The source has long been dry; And arid grown the heart that grieved. No high Emotions sweep the ruthless wall whose height Stands topless, and no dreams in soaring flight Now scale its bounds. Apathy, impotent, flaunts A smiling mask to hide the ghost that haunts Its hopeless eyes; and cavalcades of prayer Are soundless echoes now of past despair. There are no hopes. Incentive lies so dead Beneath the mound that caustic Time has spread With ashes; and Immortality lays no claim That soulless things arise to live again? |

Despite its mournful theme, it holds such power that in a certain way it's uplifting (does that make sense *g *?). Very impressive, and I like that question mark at the end... Lary |
