Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

In Shock

She opened her door
  stepped outside
Her walk best described
  as an easy glide

She looked around
  blinked her eyes
No moon, no stars
  pitch-black surprise

In shock was she
  the world gone mad
no light or hope
  her heart so sad

She pinched herself
  perchance she'd dreamed --
The darkness deepened
  she heard a scream

She retreated inward
  utterly stunned
Her trust shattered
  completely undone

You and I, of course
  we know better
'Twas just her Psyche
  out to get her

Love this especially the way you ended it .. sad world we live in ... hugs Gershon Wolf January 16, 2020 at 12:47 PM It was going to be an Alfred Hitchcock screamer, but I drew back from the precipice at the last moment.
