Gone

sorenbarrett

Logs of years burnt in fire
Chard ash of desire
Rings of growth peeled away
By visiting flaming wings that can not stay
Whispering smoke on winds, feathers' down blown
Cast gray shadows on cold stone
Reflections of ephemeral love on loan
Ransomed by a martyr's moan

    A great poem of sacrifice and loss. Short experiences can leave a long-lasting impact, but love can be costly. Enjoyed reading this.

          This beautiful poem of lost love touched my heart. I was reminded, there is always a reason for the heartache. So poetic in expression and imagery Soren.

                  I see the wishful longing for something incredibly important, I don't know why, but I always lean towards a home, not to have been lost. Absolutely beautiful poetry dear sorrenbarret šŸŒ¹

                                        Sometimes I believe all love is ephemeral. Your hesitation is timely, appropriate. Nice.

                                          Thanks Dan your review and comments mean alot and are most appreciated
