Songs of Sorrow

Missing image

 

 

Millions of woeful voices

flowing in the wind,

eternally surrounding

all nature’s darkened rim.

 

Laments of suffering

within the soul of man,

forever rocked by waves

of torment upon this land.

 

Grief envelopes the spirit

in mourning gasps of breath,

upon each destined hour

in black clouds of death.

 

And weeping prayers are heard

in every known living tongue,

as songs of sorrow are sung

when our last sad day is done.

    I really enjoyed reading this piece. It is solemn and dark, but there is beauty to be found in that darkness and sobriety. It is refreshing and effective, that you intertwine death with nature in this piece, as indeed, death is part of nature, it is merely the case that often, nature in poetry is more commonly associated with life, light and growth. Good to see the "other side of the spectrum" being worked with in this piece! The rhyme was also effective and added a lyrical essence. Certainly worthy of applause!

    Best wishes,
    Stuart
