Thoughts in QuatrainsToday, the sky is sunny stillThoughts in Quatrains by ~lunaiy
The light without to touch within
The view from every windowsill
Of dreams and things that might have been
I'd rather leave the silence there
If time is just too much to ask
The words and aimless thoughts I wear
Like feathers on a reveler's mask
For secrets kept are those to hold
And bury till the morning comes
But leave no fairytales untold

A flurry of hats torn away in the g

The sounding sea that sounds no more
Has left amidst the shallow sand
An ashen sky and barren land
(A tower in the ruin stands)
The years have won their ceaseless war
The sounding sea shall sound no more
Through snow and sleet, and pouring rain
The wind will sing its dull refrain
And all the memories, all the pain
Have vanished with the days before
A raven, from the other shore
Repeats its slow and lifeless song
And yet, the echoes still ring strong
