The Sound of Departure Within the safety of my wallsThe Sound of Departure by ~ZoSo-gIrL
I did hear the deathbell's thunder
Dusk undisturbed by death's bitter echo
In treetops merry birds sing still
Yet everyday I hear the sorrow
Above the vivacious city din
Father Time will halt for no one
The mournful souls depart in line
The bells ring out in cold finality
Goodbyes sound in the April air
Although life moves with forgettful haste
I will hear them forever more
All that lives must someday die
They are waiting, hear them cry.
