Maria White Poet Rhyme

A Widow’s Psalm

Swift winds,
Soft morning dew.
Smells surround me,
Sudden thoughts of you.
You left so soon,
I did not know what to do.
I close my eyes,
Bitter days gone by.
In your time, did you think of me?
Did you wonder where I could be?
One day comes,
Another day leaves.
You did not cherish all that was good,
You did not love me the way you should.
You passed from this life,
No more longing, no more strife.
Bough breaks, flowers toil.
Feet planted firm, planted firm in the soil.

Kim Rodrigues February 18, 2026 at 6:08 AM Much angst in this write. Still, I also see the resiliency and perseverance. Maria White March 4, 2026 at 8:05 AM "One Candle Wish" -very nice read, thank you for sharing it with us all. Maria White March 4, 2026 at 8:04 AM I have been a story teller since I was knee high to a grass hopper, as "they" say, then in my youth began writing the stories down. I write under a pen name. Poetry is something I have always wanted to write yet never had the... Nerves to show anyone, and I mean a n y o n e my work. So thank you for your comment but I must ask one more, remember I'm asking for it ;) How is the prose? What could I do better or differently. I enjoyed many of your works but I particularly I enjoyed "One Candle" Maria White February 18, 2026 at 5:27 PM Yes, and sadly much relief. I think that’s the part I did not express well?
