Vows Unspoken

A lace dress as pitch as the midnight sky.

A faded yellow rose tossed upon the earth.

Acid tears sear the face of a beautiful bride.

Vows remain unspoken,

Only to hear the echoes...

"Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust."

Birds sing the songs of Lover's Dreams.

Paper Clouds dance upon the childish winds.

But now that same wind echoes

Through the shattered chambers of a widow's heart.

Friends, family, a lonesome stranger,

All gather together in the fields of life.

Each desperately seeking the words to soothe her aching soul.

A day of pure bliss turned sour by death's knock.

An empty church sits longing for music,

But echoing only silence.

While in the distance,

A jilted bride cries for her eternal loss...
