Where Dead Angels Lie

by Sweet Fragility   Oct 1, 2007


Pictures and a scatter of memories - are a little girl's last swansong
Snow falls gently onto cold ground, in the last place she belongs.

Gravestone adorned with flowers, a snow trampled path that surrounds
A place where she is forever lost and never will be found.

Everyday more innocent lives are taken, more drama to behold
A thoughtless act can end the chance for a life to unfold.

We desire Utopia, where death only strikes those who are old
Yet with each crystal of frost that is falling, another story is told.

All crystals represent another life that is torn away
Sadly proving to the world that nothing gold can stay.

* "Nothing gold can stay." is a line taken from a poem by Robert Frost. I think it means that you're gold when life in new and you don't have to deal with the difficult things, like death. You see the innocent things, basically. Anyway, that's just my interpretation.

    I like this poem, well written, but it's quite abstract which I like, it get's you to use your noodle. I'm trying to understand the title and how it relates to the poem itself. My guess is that the content refers to abortion who are the angels and innocent.
