Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

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

Heidi Sands September 9, 2019 at 7:29 AM I can feel this as I read it. Well written Gershon. :) Gershon Wolf September 9, 2019 at 9:17 AM 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
