SHROUDS YELLOW PALE

SHROUDS YELLOW PALEHeld in the embrace of sunlightSoothed by its whispersOf foreverNeverDid I think this would end.How I wish I were youngAgain. ShroudsYellow paleIn a starless skyReflections of a soulWeak and wornHow did I get so oldSo soon. I hold on tightlyTo my mortalityReluctantlyLetting go.This is all I really know.How did I lose myselfSo quickly. Shattered dreamsAndFoolish hopesOfSome immortality.A million years have flown bySo it  seems.AloneOn the edge of my ownEternityFaith broken
InReverberating silence Of Infinity.Only echoes of my own voiceCome back to me.How did I believe in those liesWhen did I lose my innocence. Held in the embrace of sunlightSoothed by its whispersOf foreverNeverDid I think this would end.

Totally beautiful. Oh so very beautifully put Joe

Oh so very beautifully put, so honest, so lovely to watch, feel and understand, so like a swan-song of eternity, a declaration of life's mortality, its fleeting veils of yellow in the deeper dark sides, it is truly beautifully expressed Joe of the Floridian flourished sunshine, and the great wide blue glinting sea of existence. Dear Longobardolino Love Annuccia "To my mortally"......(did you mean mortality ?) "So I seems"............(did you mean it ?)
