Notes About The Poem

 

Image result for woman in grief

Dreams Unfulfilled

To lounge beneath a passing star
      Where unfulfilled dreams wane, afar
         No fog or glow cleansing these tears
     As grief, in harsh shadow   appears
   Entombing bleakest thoughts, I sink--
This agony… my poisoned drink.





' No one ever told me that grief felt so like fear.' ~ C.S.Lewis
