She was innocent That is the whisper the voice carried on the wind of the world Her cries go silent She is left alone in the night she once loved now it has taken its innimitable toll the unpayable price and she is gone what she was what was taken can not return now we are alone in the night she once loved with her heart pure as it was wrapped in the dark that can destroy that innocence She loved Him So said the whisper What is gone Was a heart oft used oft broken a crack in hope did he steal the beauty of her spoken on the 7 winds from the 4 corners of what has been of who has gone She was innocent that is the whisper the voice carried on the wind of the world "Prophet!" said I, "thing of evil!- prophet still, if bird or devil!- Whether Tempter sent, or whether tempest tossed thee here ashore, Desolate yet all undaunted, on this desert land enchanted- On this home by horror haunted- tell me truly, I implore- Is there- is there balm in Gilead?- tell me- tell me, I implore!" Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore." |

the beauty of her spoken on the 7 winds from the 4 corners of what has been of who has gone She was innocent that is the whisper the voice carried on the wind of the world ----------------- walter my poetic-genius friend, this is exceptional writing. I love this beautiful, emotion filled poem. and as always, it is written with your gift of imagery and vision. powerful images here and written with your grace for finding beauty in the darkness. take care wise poet jm I think I could need - this in my life I think I'm just scared - that I know too much I can't relate and that's a problem I'm feeling ... If you're gone - maybe it's time to go home There's an awful lot of breathing room But I can hardly move If you're gone - baby you need to come home cuz there's a little bit of something me... In everything in you. ~MB20~ "What the caterpillar calls the end ... The world calls a butterfly" ~Lao Tze Tao~ ~Butterflies are meant to be free~ |

excellent my friend, simply excellent, I enjoyed the longing way of innocents possibly stolen. Great work kid. Joel. I howl a mournful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel. |

to have loved and lost is better than to have never loved at all |
