Alesia Leach Poet Rhyme

Desolate

Desolate...
The wind howls through hollow trees,
empty echoes in barren land,
where time forgets to leave its hand.

Desolate...
Footsteps fade on dust-strewn ground,
no voices call, no whispers sound,
only silence, vast and unbound.

Desolate...
The sky weeps with ashen tears,
stars extinguished, lost to night,
a world consumed, devoid of light.

Desolate...
Shadows stretch where none remain,
forgotten names on crumbled stone,
and you walk this path alone.

"Where Time forgets to leave it's hand..." a unique touch indeed...J.A.B. Alesia Leach May 31, 2025 at 4:44 PM Justin, your words read like an echo from the soul of the poem itself--“the soul of poetry pronounces the pulse of all that has been…” That’s stunning. I’m deeply moved that you felt the sharp, still ache in this piece. And thank you for noticing “where time forgets to leave its hand”--that line haunted me even as I wrote it. Grateful as always for your insight, Poet.
