Failed By Words

The changing has arrived and the invading shades proclaim their independence from the norm
Invisible echos sound their presence in the ever evolving sky
A single musical blast sends notice that everything has changed and will not return again
I am failed by words to explain all this
Failed by deeds to verify existing bliss
Was it a loss of part of my life?
Or a temporary blindness?
A brief insanity or a vision that failed to materialize?
Once present, now lost
And at what exorbitant cost?
You once argued that this was your way
And issued demands that this could not change
Declining values often place interest at risk
Frayed edges remain in the wake
This needed moment of silence shattered by fate

1990's

Some of these attempts at poetry are from 15-20 years ago and I didn't think to make notes as to what life situation was in place that caused them to come out. I can guess but would quite possibly be in error. Maybe fact or fiction but it had a story behind it at one time.
