end of an era

Your song is mine, too.

Your music makes my wings.

You gave me a voice—

An identity.

In you I saw the

Realest beauty.

You created magic!

Why did it have to end?

In each of you I found love, fivefold:

The heartbeat of the drums,

The elegance of the piano,

The ethereal guitar,

The passion of the bass,

And the silver magic of your voice!

I look at you now,

And I still weep

To know that you have parted ways.

Was nine years just too much?

Yet your words are still my life

And I will always

Return to you.

You are one with me—

My heartbeat and pulse

Are to your tempo.

In all ways,

You are flawless.

Truly,

Gods among men.

Totally about Nightwish. Watching their final DVD and being sad. That usually equals a poem. (/shrug.)

    Aw, "and I still weep"....

    I cried just yesterday It has been what... almost two years already and it still gets to me. Yesterday I saw a video dedicated to Tarja on youtube and that is when I cried again. She was so incredible and unique. But my heart still belongs to Nightwish... it is just a little broken now This piece was really great, such a wonderful vision of what their the end of 2005 five was like for them and for all of us.

    Much Love

    End of an Era was as heartbreaking to watch as it was satisfying. Hope you don't give up on them now as they morph into something different with Anette. Tuomas' music will always speak so strong, powerful feelings. You did excellent in putting your feelings and thoughts in to type-written word.

    Like you said, totally about Nightwish. I love it. This fits the contest so well and I'm impressed because it's a pre-write! I didn't think I would get any of those! I thought I was being all original with my contest lol. anyways this was great! I perfect start to what I think is going to be a great contest. And if you could do me a favor and let anyone who you know likes Nightwish know about this contest, the more the merrier! Thank you!
