Notes About The Poem

Heavy Hearted

when thoughts unkind
and winds turn cold
a heart in atrophy
slowly turns to stone

while severed
disconnected
its string gone feral

the soul astray
drifts off
to chase the first
warm breeze

Gershon Wolf January 29, 2020 at 10:13 PM Yep. That's what happens alright, as you've poetically crafted it. A psycho-poetic bulls-eye, Line! :) Gershon Line Gauthier January 29, 2020 at 11:37 PM Thank you so much, Gershon. Most appreciated.
