Beyond My Window

There is a silence beyond my window; though the wind is a low desolate moan; with dark clouds heavy with ominous rain; and now there is a howl like a voice forlorn. ~ My purple curtains flutter and billow; oh, this dismal day makes me feel alone; and I am reminded of my past pain; for though it has been years now ... I still mourn. ~ Like the threatening rain that is in limbo; I close my eyes and see all the names in stone; and stand weeping- wind a violin strain; like a love symphony that makes me yearn. ~ The wind and clouds crash and rain is falling and beyond my window it is pouring ~ _______________________ April 20, 2021 Poetry/Hybronnet/Beyond My Window Copyright Protected, ID 04-1348-370-20 All Rights Reserved, 2021, Constance La France Written for the Standard contest, All Yours (Apr 22) sponsor, Brian Strand, Judged 04/20/2021 First Place

_Constance, This view from beyond the window is so beautifully sad. The storms embrace outside, the chill from missing ones on the inside. The wind there to remind us of them, in a storm that ebbs, never fully passes. -Richard

Memories can often be saddest on their anniversary dates; this is exquisitely written, Constance, as usual.
