" Hei’ina de’em hadeshia e cála. "
The wind keeps on singing the song
with your old distant voice.
Unaware of the world beneath me,
my feet have made a choice:
this world made of tears still falling
is a mist in my crying eyes.
My heart is still heavy with sorrow
of love worth any surmise.
My road is headed towards yesterday
where my eyes gaze upon,
the memories haunting my old dreams
about obstacles of life won.
You gave me your last goodbye then
on that small painful spot,
that has been hidden in the destiny
that I pushed away, forgot.
Walking on with these bleeding feet,
my voice has turned silent.
My cry has turned in to an empty rock
beating ever yet so violent.
Towards south where you said then
you would travel at the end;
I know this road is a joke of the truth
that I’m too tired to apprehend.
So a moment after another, still today,
my journey of thorns continues,
following the wind of forgotten times
where I left my last virtues.
In the destiny that will never again end
I keep following the wind
that sings the song of forgotten times
where I have already sinned.
" Hei’ina de’em hadeshia e cála… "
" Carry his dreams home… "

I've read this over on a few different occasions now, and still I can come up with is "wow."
It's filled with so much imagery and emotions that it is almost too much to take in all at once. Good write and welcome to the group. -

I worked extra hard with this piece because it's about one of my story characters. I tend to take my poetry very serious when it's about someone... So I'm very glad people have liked this piece this much.
Thanks for your words; they really do mean a lot to me. And thank you, I'm happy to be a part of the group
