And They Said Forever.

From my past: writing for a friend's uplifting..

Soft bittersweet of emptiness
Roared silence of the dead
Crowded streets of loneliness
Dew teardrops left unshed

Listen to the darkened beat
The rhythm of their ring
Watch the twilight sunset fall
Let go of everything

Taste the beating of the wind
The tainted sheen of white
Steady tap of scuffled means
Fade hollowed love tonight

And hear the sacred promise told
Sweet whispers in the wind
Breathe the warming fate of gold
And cloud off all the sinned

Spread those faded folded wings
Embrace the raging sun
Leave behind those days of hurt
What’s over has been done

Forever lasts the memories
So walk with faith and pride
You’ll never roam this world alone
As paths and dreams collide
