Listen

Walking toward the distant light
How cold it is, this summer night
Broken dreams..
This band about my heart so tight
Now for each breath I seem to fight
Night bird screams..


For Brian's contest

A biting, keenly honed short piece...emotionally affective and concisely written and conceived...very well-conceived ending line...good.

I hope this is simply an expression of poetry....nothing of true anxiety really happening to inspire this one:) A feeling we have all had at one time or another. Well done, Barbara!
