John Lawless Poet Free verse

A Lost Sunset

For sadness screams in a chasm
Tears hidden in a creviced stare
Prayers praise a doubted God
Words sting a shrinking soul
Death itself will mourn
For those who can’t

A cold sunrise
Will darken time
Its shadow
A lost sunset

Lin Lane July 21, 2023 at 5:40 AM I read your lines, “Death itself will mourn For those who can’t” 3 times before continuing. Personifying death is quite a gripping thought that you present a reader… to imagine that something we relate with cruel finality could have compassion. Deep delving empathy, John.
