Click herepale words hang in sterile air
once charged with fiery hope
faint fading pulses
'neath translucent skin -
grey blue on glass bone
life whisper rasps
through parched lips
to caress my mind
still
achingly beautiful
still
rapt by feathery wings of light
the dream floats free
bathed in the flatline glow
eerie embers of optimism
expire with one last gasp
one last tear
one lasting scar
I love the way this is written. Economy of verse. Wonderful. I loved it.
Seems to be about shadows, so it is appropriate that it feels like shadows.

as it all fades
away awash in gray
dreams and memories
departing steam
exhales in winter
we stand on the runway
as sighted down flat flight lines
we watch and wave
good bye
