My Heart and Soul Cleft

Lonely bench weeps beneath me Trees whistle their sorrow Flowers' petals folded inward Will dawn come tomorrow Birds' songs have been silenced Hark -- famished dogs bay The skies bring forth darkness Moon and stars sent away For you've vanished again Not a trace of you left Your reasons not given My heart and soul cleft... Thick snowflakes are swirling Soon icicles form Love's winter's descended Harsh and forlorn

Such sorrow in this one. "For you've vanished again Not a trace of you left Your reasons not given My heart and soul cleft..." Sorry.

You expressed sadness in such a beautiful way. It somehow made it seem more bearable.

Heidi, it's YOU who have inspired me to try write this kind of poem. You are my 'secret mentor,' as I draw tremendous inspiration from reading your magnificent blends of Mother Nature with human nature. Thank you, Gershon
