Linda Ori - * WAITING

Tell me not of forgotten dreams
For dreams are fleeting -
Life's reality holds steadfast,
No room for dreams now
Only today's stark coldness
Shivers the magical song
That once embraced my heart;

Tell me not of forgotten hopes
For hopes are fading -
This is all there is now,
Nothing more than shadow -
Muted watery images
Void of color and sound
No longer breathing life;

Everything so far away now -
Love scattered on the wind,
Fragile petals blown and bruised
Dashed and broken - bleeding
Unrealized, unfulfilled,
Never to feel your lifeblood
Ignite my soul................................

I am a ghost waiting to be reborn.

Linda Ori
