Analysis of Pasts Forgotten
The burn grows cold,
the rush gone,
watery graves pour over cemetary gates,
resting easy are the restless,
no longer seeing through murky eyes.
A verse burns bright,
the cold done,
frozen hearts unbind enrapturing fates,
faulting minds of the faultless,
eyes reciting hymns of pasts forgotten.
