Taking a Toll

Weeping incessantly Teardrops kissing the winds The panged heart does throb again… Where are the pleasantries? Who has taken its joy? Sadly colored portraits, blues… Dreary is the pained soul, That has no hand to hold… Sparks of joy, must soon return I am as a lost child In a land of soulless strangers, Just a dreamer seeking a dream… My angst is cloaked, Within puffs of smoke-- A heart grieves, pained… Distress is calling my name– Oh that I could soar once more Yet, I have no wings to fly. I’d dare dream of pleasantries Nesting high in clear blue skies Comments: Just writing friends all is well :-) Be Blessed, Always Adell

Oh dear Adell, this is just so sad and painful to read. I do know this feeling, written and captured so well. I just do hope it is not about you. Such a lost and lonely place to be. A very emotional write. Love, Shar
