When life stops giving.
Tapestries of moss gather up their forces;
furled curls of jade latch onto soil,
bones gazing up from underneath.
Withered silhouettes framed by an ebbing glow
hold resignation letters and wings firm in hand,
singing out of loyalty for a memory lost.
A misguided phenomenon,
death harnessed.
I asked the night: When will death stop taking?
He turned his head away with a sigh dragged
deep from the unlit depths of his knowledge,
casting another shadow onto the gravestone
which I kneel by.

Vundabar!
I especially like the first stanza
"Tapestries of moss gather up their forces;
furled curls of jade latch onto soil,
bones gazing up from underneath"
gives a vivid image! Please continue to write more :)

You've hit the nail on the head,
once, twice, thrice.
That's exactly what I meant to
put across.
Thank you, Miss_Sub.

Ah, another treasure from our Scribbler. Listed.
Stunning, just the right blend of darkness and wistfulness.

Geez Scribbler, You always awe me, others said it, i'll repeat it cuz it true---this is art!!!
You peened as the classics but in YOUR voice and bending of life!!! it is a Masterpiece!!!
are memories lost, or pushed away?
unattainable? things are so grey with these things
Death is never easy and at times I kill things off without enough reason, save only the passion of the moment...then I regret and pay hell trying resuscitation...many graveyards litter, real and figurative...I try to re-mold as many figurative ones as I possibly can...for life enjoyment and living by the "right and wrong" code....this was a thinker:) kudos!!!

This is a really curious piece.
I could see "death" clearly,
sighing. You make me think Scribbler :)
Nice one.

Thankfully, despite our ignorant and conceived attempts to destroy our world, "life continues giving"

re: Re: When life stops giving.
I understand where you're coming from,
I've been trying to work on simplicity
but I keep getting sucked into a vortex
of useless words, or 'fillers',
words used only to fill a space.
I'll keep your feedback
in mind for my next upload.
Thank you for the helpful comment :)

He he, don't sweat it, being a writer could be my job one day, and we wouldn't want them thinking I'm some stifled old man now, would we.
