William Crocker Poet Free verse

Emptiness

The sun did not rise
With me this morning.

The cold, grey mist
Was there . . .
Chilling all the places
We had been
The night before.

I could not see
The paths we’d walked
Or places where We’d stopped.

I only felt
The cold mist’s arms
About my soul

. . . And . . .

Emptiness
