A Song For the Haunted....
I lay down in your darkness, your soul, my pillow you say "do not be afraid, my love; sunrise will surely come..." and I've got ALL I can handle, but cannot leave you to yourself; we are kindred spirits, creating heavens' art from hell.
There are fruits to be reeped, from sorrows of the deep, together we embark through graveyards cold and stark; new vines grow from tombstones, poetry sprouts from the past, you hold me, whispering until the ghosts have passed.
Alas, she rises, Morning Star realizations of all we've been through, how it makes for Who we Are. And, when again, we can no longer take the torment, we'll revisit it all again; having to forgive those sins, and the hell through which we've been; birthing even the warmth of our life's seasons.
(through ash, spirits risen...) (a song for the haunted...) (born from things never wanted...)

I like this a lot, it leads me on from verse to verse, and the images are crisp and clear. Well done, Elle!
I'd like to see it in the newsletter.

Thank you, Ken! You know, I've been writing a lot lately, I have a new muse.. or at least a muse that has opened up a floodgate for me, which is often the way it goes. It's a new musical partner. This is a combination of many things, some I don't even know... or are consciously aware of. It's one of my own personal favorite things I have written in recent memory, actually. When it was finished, I was so relieved and it holds the essence of something I have wanted to capture for quite some time... how the past, however bad/ good whatever helps shape us but we determine what to do with that from there & that even from the worst case scenerios, beautiful things can sprout.
