In Darkness She Sits

In darkness she sits Her existence now revolving around mind created horrors. Her child, not at home. Has been away for weeks, perhaps months, for she has lost sense of time. She feels the anger, the rage. She does however understand the purpose, the cause, the reason But her mind is overwhelmed by the feelings of the heart. Confused and disheartened, she continues to sit alone While tears run down her face etching deep scars within her soul As she pleads and hopes that her only child will soon return.

Hi George….a very powerful well written poem. The worst thing ever for both child and parents when a child goes missing. I can’t even begin to imagine what that would even be like! Debx
