A voice goes silent
in the distant wind
No tracks to follow
no path within
Muses cry
as shadows fade
Their chorus faint
with dreams unmade
The past abandoned
tomorrow gone
This moment orphaned
the night so long
Goodbye tomorrow
farewell today
All hope now fleeting
—time castaway

This such a beautiful poem! I especially liked the lines "Muses cry / as shadows fade / No tracks to follow / no path within" and "This moment orphaned / the night so long". It's so beautiful. It makes me think of how important it is to never lose hope. The path is inside us. Nobody points us to it. It should be within us and if it isn't then we really are lost. I think that our hopes fade only when we have gotten off our path. Thank you for the poem. I really enjoyed it.
Thanks Jo. Your very insightful comments made my night!
