Silently Suffering
Leonard Castillo 1963 (Colorado)
Deafening silence is overpowering
Suffering alone with out
One who was now is less
Life in abundance bountiful
Lost on the byways of broken dreams
Shattered avenues I walk these streets
Aimlessly wandering thru the dredged
Of what once was
Emptiness barron of life
Only the darkness is welcome
Shadows bring solace to my soul
A sentry alert to my presence
Passing by down in the gutters of yesterday's happiness and today's sorrow
Nothing matters slowly drawn
Shadow fires gather waiting to do
Deeds which we cannot fathom
Longing for the yesterday's of life to lifeless
Time waits for no one there is no holding
A life slowly ebbing towards the end
A shell now just a hindrance
Letting go the fires in the shadows come
Taking me evermore towards the destiny
That awaits in the darkened abyss
Of what once was
Silently Suffering
