Empty
.
Down where the creamy white Magnolia blossoms are opened wide____
exposed to the rain, drizzle, cool damp air
Down where the spider's wide web woven betwix and between the Inkberry Holly and the veranda
The web is dotted
With dewdrops~ tiny diamonds waiting 'pon the sun so they can glisten
Down where
The rain ran like a river flowing in the front yard
Down to the storm drain on to the creek
Corrigated storm drains
which are filled with water to slowly drain away
Evaporate
Like:
A drained heart ~ drained of all emotion, energy, and enthusiasm
A Heart
Who has poured out emotion, energy until, until the life force has drained away
The strong breeze has given the Vultures a way to soar.....
High, Circling~~
Their flight of ease catching the currents__soar__
Look~~Search
Until they see a food source
Hunger drives them~~~~
Hunger
Drives one whose heart is drained ~drained needing to fill that empty space
with
What?
