it continues...




Anquished Season

When the mind is too crowded

And the heart, in pain, is torn

There are so many images glaring

As all in friction are born

 

With the birth of anxiety

Life cries out for relief

For every waking moment

Ticks the time that holds the grief

 

In the coldest, darkest winter

As night consumes the day

Alone stands the figure

When the flame blows away

 

Eternity has a pattern

But balance takes it toll

For Winter Solstice's death

May kill hope in Summer's soul.

Honest and heart wrenching. The anguish digs deep into the soul. Sadly beautiful.

Very nice, Kathy. Guess you've seen my life too.
Well done, for the hurting. It's all there. Thanks.
