Abandoned Church
Silhouetted against the horizon
dark magenta and yellow sunset
the spire of an abandon church
Now testimony to nothing
congregation long gone
Faith as dusts
upon the floor boards
she stood there baby in arms
smelling dusts and decay
at the altar where vows were spoken
as was the vow, as was the altar
like the songs of a choir
slowly fading into the silent past.
*originally written for Impromptu Composition.*

for some strange reason unknown to me, this feels so much like Fleetwood Mac's "Silver Springs" The angst felt when what once has been strong simply becomes "dust in the wind"
I love the way your words draw forth my musical id.

The vision was a flash when I saw the prompt in that thread, Impromptu Composition. I just fleshed it out a bit. But it was of a woman with a baby in front of an abandoned altar. Cobwebbed and dusty. Was she a ghost..? She is gone from my mind's eye, so I will never know. Thanks MrM for reading me. :)

Thank you for reading and commenting Michael. This is an old write. I must really edit this. 🤔😃
