Creative Writing
To retain sanity
By: Bethany Brandel
Still the query lingers
As the pounding heart swells,
Another flame wanes.
Must the sounds vibrate so?
Alone I am to heed
the Echo in my dark room. |
The empty coal trains
By: Anonymous
The empty coal trains
are returning,
stretching from one
horizon to the next.
Silent and hollow,
they are reminders
of dreams never reached
and paths never taken.
I am the only witness
of the silent procession,
the only one who knows
of the emptiness of nothing.
But even though
they are hollow,
they roll onward
down the path set before them,
and as I watch, I realize
that I too must continue,
even though a part of me
is missing. |
In stone
By: Bethany Brandel
Isolated in the field of ash
Faces turned toward the heavens
Silent shrieks through gaping lips
Breath stopped, silent in the dark
Frozen tears and forgotten memories
Still shadows of the cursed folk |
