Julie Achilles Poet Free verse

She

Beneath her feet sodden ground
motionless and weary she stands alone
a north wind hurls around her
yet, she does not feel the biting cold
her heart is broken and will not mend
an already grey sky darkens
motionless she is in her darkest hour
a cold hard rain begins to fall
its droplets mingle with her bitter tears
her heart is broken and will not mend
her skirt hem swims in newly formed pools
her eyes transfixed into nothingness
loneliness awaits her
silently she walks through sodden ground
her heart is broken and will not mend.

Demetrios Trifiatis March 29, 2020 at 8:32 AM Dark night of the soul described so vividly and so precisely! It is difficult for someone to escape yet a single ray of hope could easily dissipate all darkness dearest, Julie! We have to remember even the longest night is followed by day! Wonderful and powerful writing dearest, Julie! Hugs xxx Julie Achilles March 30, 2020 at 7:19 AM Thank you dearest Demetrios, Hugs, xxx
