Description The soundless cry of an empty heart
An endless race that has no start

Forgotten yet it can be found
Loud but never makes a sound

Smiling, how can it be sad
Can goodness really trump the bad

Youthful yet it feels so old
Being warm and really cold

Claims victory without a race
Appears intact, but out of place

Smells so bitter, tastes so sweet
Hearts that really never beat

In search of truth to find the lies
Lacking wings but tries to fly

Breaths in air, but has no life
Granting pity but causing strife

Born to live, but all must die
While nothingness waits by the bye…

Even in stillness something moves

Invisible rays of energy swirling through light

Waves of consciousness that ebb and flow through our thoughts.......

Sounds great, even with this wee bit of eeriness in this piece, David.
I love it.

All of these are old works, with some being pretty recent.  I am trying to put back some works I deleted when I had that breakdown a few months ago.  I do have a new series of poetry coming in mid November called 'Mercy Mild'

I see, I hadn't realized that... once the account is canceled al the work is gone, you can see it on the bright side though
now you have the opportunity to see them all over again.
The new project sounds awesome!
