A Widow's Melancholy

A mood as dark as a winters midnight Haltingly adrift, she is rudderless Bound to a coastal route As she nears the quay, she cries out But emits no sound As strong currents Guide her soul To deeper depths And perils Where light has no importance A salient angle away and afar She collapses in upon herself, like the Black Hole Black does not describe its murkiness She is lost to humanity
