Melody in the Wind's Lament

In twilight's sigh, where shadows creep,

Beneath the moon's soft light, I keep.

I am the echo in the silent stream,

A fleeting vision in your dream.

I am the rose, with petals pale,

That whispers secrets in the gale.

In every tear that softly falls,

In whispered sighs within stone walls.

I am the melody in the wind's lament,

The fading hue when day is spent.

A wistful glance in lover's eyes,

A tear that falls from winter skies.

Though time may pass and seasons fly,

In memories, I'll never die.

So, do not weep or say goodbye,

For in your heart, forever I lie.

Creative process and inspiration: The style of the poem was inspired by Emily Dickinson. I imagined I died but the one who loves me is left behind to grieve my absence. I am comforting him... that in spirit I'll always be with him.

The cover art was inspired by Salvador Dalí's painting: Rose

The title of my cover art is Desolate Rose. I'll let the viewer interpret the symbolic meaning and how it relates to the poem.
