Sentiment

  The calm erupted—peace was none—
  But shattered tears did fall
  Silence stirred the restless mind yet—
  Despite the siren’s wail
   
  Light grew heavy—the edge had come
  And whispers pale with judgement
  That Final Goodbye—subtle lies
  Bear witness—in the pews—
   
  I loved my kindred—Not enough
  To hold you to the Earth
  This solid ground—and then the stars
  Lit melodies just so
   
  From which—I could not find my way
  Called out to you—my blood—
  Guilty shadows—cast down—
  They knew I knew each one
