Echoes Of Farewell
Echoes of Farewell In the dim light where love once shone bright, Two hearts that glowed now fade from sight, Vows lost in the flow of time, Whispers of love's old rhyme, Tears fall like soft rain, Memories wane, Silent cries, Goodbye, Gone.

elegy verses fall like heavy thunderstorm in midnight November I summon fire hoping to warm cold feelings while gazing long through the coming flames
