Muddied

she sits there 
with the same blank stare
as this moonless sky 

her thoughts stacked 
like these clouds
swirling above 

her tears streaming 
faster than this rain
shatter on the ground
atop puddles
as muddied
as her soul 



(Bus scribble)

This reminds me of a time I just sat in the grass and sobbed, with cars driving by.

I enjoy your so called scribbles, these are deep writes, complex beyond what you know and understand, they are simple for you because you possess a gift ... a skill few have. I'm out of superlatives with you Sandy!

and through the muddied puddles a lone lungfish waddles its way back to the cleansing ocean... Back to a life of happiness...at peace...at home....renewed in spirit...

Such troubled thoughts. How to unscramble in this frenzied modern world. Your lines quite likely express emotions all too recognisable to many. Nicely written.

Thank you so much Peter...i am good at throwing emotions out there... many if not all can relate to most emotions in life... :)
