First Line: It hangs unfinished in the air
Last Line: My unshed tears.
Subject(s): Grief; Self; Singing & Singers; Sorrow; Sadness
It hangs unfinished in the air,
Unsung. .... a shimmering mist
Of platinum hair;
A gleam obscured by silver veil,
Subdued. .... a transient light
On starry trail;
Entombed in boundless space on space
It floats. .... to rest, untried
Before God's face;
Enmeshed by silken folds of years,
It waits. .... to kiss and bless
My unshed tears.
