A Life ( tribute to a friend )

[soulfir3]

She sheds her bloom ,
So rich and red
Her life
In shreds
With raindrops falling
Upon crystal skin
Her soul weeps
Deep within
Her body worn
And tired with age
Locked within her terminal cage
She feels the heat
Of her long term fight
Sear through her
Fragile soul
Bruised and burnt
The so called
"miracle"
Is not as it seems
Her life and wishes
Dust and dreams
She slowly fades
Watching those around her
Rush about
Trying to find something
Positive to talk about
She knows its nearly
Time to go
Her finger's touch the hearts
Of love
And her soul releases the pain
Giving ease to years
Of regret and shame
Not how she thought -
she would leave
But what's the difference now ?
It's all the same
The heat of death
Imprints on her
In the wind now,
I can only feel her
Tear drops fall
As I call her name
Gone into tomorrow
A life not forgotten

beautifully woven with touches of scourging pain.... i feel with you as i have friends lining on the terminal zone. such pathos here, i begin to wonder the scream or silence of life itslef. thank you, soul.
