Wow! Ol' Writing

So, I wrote this awhile ago, but I just kind of wanted to post it. Not really sure why yet, but I'm doing it anyways. So there!...lol.

985 Cranes
By Moi

Now that the cranes have suddenly gone
And their sweetly covered words have disappeared
I am left;
Left with the hope that they will return;
Left with the reality that they may not;
Left with the sad memory of their departure.
Flashing images plague my eyes
Whether they be opened or closed.
In my mind, reels turn to remind me;
Remind me of the sweeter times;
Remind me of precious moments;
Remind me of the end.

The end.
It came with little warning.
Days before the departure there was no sign;
No sign of chill in the air;
No sign of frost on the ground;
No sign of ice on the rivers.
I believed I could keep them forever.
As the wintery breeze gained strength, I saw the distance grow;
Grow between those cranes and I;
Grow between those precious moments;
Grow between those sweeter times.

So, Now, I am left, but have I lost;
Lost my self;
Lost my strength;
Lost my passion for life?
No.
I have lost my cranes and I have lost their sweetly covered words.
But I pray that they find;
Find their self;
Find their passion;
Find their happiness.


What do you think? I hope you enjoyed it. Some things I'm not happy with yet, but for the most part I like it.
Keep an eye on those days!
