Sandra Adams Poet Free verse

Dampened

the glimmer
is lost from skies
and eyes 

this dampened ground
can’t  hold anymore tears 
than my pillow can 

i am lost
somewhere
in the fogginess
of another somber rise 

grounded hope
dissipating 
in uncertainty 
as I stand alone
in this rain
watching streams
flow down lonely streets
where shadows once fell

cracks hidden within
like society these days

(Bus scribble)
