Tolling the Hour

Tolling the Hour

Windswept moors, treacherous sea,
mysterious suspense,
mesmerizing expectancy,
Churchyard of tranquility?

Out of the shadows, finding the light,
a black veil flutters swept into flight,
tombstones marching row by row
moving not, nowhere to go?

Overwhelming calmness
senselessly we know.
A sea of empty faces
anticipate the show.

Solitary mourner standing by,
deep in heather growing so high.
~
quiet country churchyard ~
dark horseman passing by.

Nightmare of waiting ~

Has the journey ended now, all waiting just for me?
By the treacherous ocean, moaning empty sea.

Mourns hover in the bitter winter wind,
are they thinking of me or a simple sin?

Now we hear the church tower bell
tolling the warning hour.
A gust of wind encircles and gathers up a
flower.

A solitary red rose sails onto the dull gray sea.
Earth was expecting me, an overcoat for eternity

So many questions... this piece has a very 'other-worldly' feel to it, especially the way it gets more and more introspective as it progresses. Yet another facet you show us... well done.

I feel as if I am on a journey into your mind when I read this, it's refreshing:)
