In Sorrowed Shadows
~
Posy petal’d tear drops
on saffron colored morns
fall deeply in sorrowed shadows
where sunshine is merely a reflection
of the beauty once shared
Clouded days sing dreary sonnets
and the sunflowers are sad,
for those cherished wings
of brilliant colors
are gone from this field
Now a misty shade of gray
lingering in the thoughts
of one so missed…
finds the garden gates locked,
never to open again
Where rainbows once painted blue hydrangea skies
and daffodil promises carried our smiles,
heartache now gathers in shapeless corners,
missing this butterfly
all had so come to adore
and the earth weeps…
