Memory (Poem)
Well, this poem earned me a nice 38/50 at the Roane State academic festival. ^^ I think I did pretty good on it.
Memory Calling out into the deafening silence No one can hear my pleas. No voice reaches out to guide me on. The single prayer I send remains unheard And unanswered My dreams have shattered Only fragments remain Tearing at the worn soles of my weary feet I have come so far, but gained so little I cannot continue on without you A single tear slips away from empty eyes Falling into the infinite sea of sorrows The surface shatters The ripples even slowly Smoothing again into a flawless memory A memory that one day will make me strong A voice reaches from the past A gentle whisper calling me on ”Buildings burn, friendships fade, people die But all that remains are not ashes Remember, my child, life will drag on With or without you, it continues Go now, and catch up to it Nothing lasts forever, Time is too short to waste in mourning.” Nothing is forever, not even good-bye Worries fade with each passing moment Soothing memories will sweep them away I can look back now And even in the darkest of hours, I can still hear our laughter echoing Beneath the azure skies |
That is...good! :D But a little oh so melancholy?
