1590 - The Playlist

 

 The Sunday Whirl presents the following words for us to use:

ascending morning head dreams between hand road storytellers poem potion feather three

The Playlist

A common theme displayed,

Poems of love and longing;

Laments of unrequited dreams,

Prayers for warm belonging.

The storytellers bare their hearts,

Asking for compassion;

Can we head down that road

In a truly honest fashion?

Emotions ascend to dizzy heights

To rescue from the rubble,

These singers of the sad laments:

But morning bursts the bubble.

The recipient of this playlist

Few can understand

The dark, foreboding shadow

Of its cold malignant hand.

We are, as they say, caught between,

With no answers so to speak.

We close our eyes and bow our heads

And tears run down our cheek.
