Resounding through the empty night,
Discordant melodies take flight,
Lyrics written by Fortune’s fool
In tribute to a man whose cruel
Intentions proved a fatal blight.
Resounding through the empty night
And drowning any chance of sleep,
Those melancholy dirges creep
Into the corners of her mind,
All hope of respite undermined.
Resounding through the empty night,
The music of the sacred rite
That haunts her since their vows went wrong.
Destiny sings her fragile song
Of love that faded with the light,
Resounding through the empty night.
~~~~ This poem was inspired a prompt from Poetic Bloomings asking for poems about rest as well as a prompt from Imaginary Garden with Real Toads asking us to take inspiration from the works of William Shakespeare. I found my inspiration in the phrase “Fortune’s fool” from Romeo and Juliet.
