Hardened

Wind weathered dream severed
eyes hollow stare blankly out
rough seas washed away hopes
hardened hearts die
fragile souls cry
hastily built walls
stones tumble 
broken in a blackened sky
masses filter the catacombs
steeple's raise notice
dropping down suddenly

Oh Tim. Hello. How very true. Anyone who has experienced hardship darkness loss sadness stress a broken heart or fractured soul knows your every word and thought. Your words are true and so captures the entire meaning of hardened. Because one does become just that. You wrote it with perfection in my opinion. I hope everything is ok. Have a great night. Well expressed entirely and completely.

A hardened heart is a pitiable thing. I know this is not about you personally, Tim because you're far too kind and filled with emotions. Your images were well chosen.
