The Last Lullaby

A tribute to a song that haunts me....

Bury me beneath that old willow
peaceful slumber
sweet grasses overgrown

only a breeze
wildflowers

concrete angels in a garden of stone

standing guard

eternal twilight
whispered wishes
fallen like leaves

Amazing. I love your poetry.

This is amazingly visual...I was right there, seeing and feeling and wide-eyed. Well done!

[The Analog Kid]

This is really hauntingly beautiful. We talked already about the song. Love your style in this one.

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

I must say your words are quite haunting but at the same time very calming... Such a short poem and yet so profound.

[J.P. Bristow]

I too feel a sense of calm when reading this like that hope to be remembered but knowing memory is all to brief...well done.

[Mr. Revan]

Unlike the other commentor, I felt this poem to be, tranquil, and filled with imagery.
I think the concrete angels represent guardians of eternal existence..
the garden of stone surrounded by old wildflowers and tall grasses,
wisping in the wind,
and you are forever buried in this world, below that old willow.
Wonderful!

[Zeitgeist Manifesto]

This poem horrified me. The images were so cold in my mind. It gave me
chills. You influence the imagination to run wild with the slightest bit
of stimulation. This is powerful work.
