Diminuendo by Emily Reed

Aptly named, this poetic composition hints at a rousing, consuming fire of ecstasy that dies down, dwindles, and finally ends, leaving only banked embers. Passion has played its course, and love drifts into a spiral of aching memories. Not a crashing of cymbals or a beating of drums, Diminuendo is a plucking, strumming, and crying of the poet's heartstrings. Subdued but rhythmic beats coil through the reader, pulling, pushing, tugging, and then touching, with glimpses of a bared soul. One who has suffered any sort of loss will understand and relate to every word. Nann Dunne - Author; poet; publisher of Just About Write, www.justaboutwrite.com
