Thoughts On the Rift

i can hear this rain tapping against my window it beats more steady than that of my heart in this winter glum the trees are bare as are my arms these days there are no leaves left to drift aimlessly like thoughts on the rift of loneliness i shift like the wind changing pitch beneath memories and dreams trying to find some kind of warmth to linger in my thoughts fall like rain frigid and fast this somber day December 13, 2019 Best December poem Contest Sponsored by John Hamilton

thank you John...and i saw it staring me right in the face today and it's funny because someone quoted it that line with it spelled correctly as a favorite line of the poem...i don't know if i edited it at some point and changed the word or if it just slipped by me... it's been a crazy busy month though...hugs :)

Thank you Tom...winter, at least around these parts is so gloomy...no color, just barren trees and lawns... I hope you enjoy your weekend as well... hugs

Wow thank you Chris... it's a chilly somber day steering my muse, sometimes it's hard to write bright and cheery when you look out a window and see bare trees, chilly rain, and somber skies... hugs

"there are no leaves left to drift aimlessly like thoughts on the rift of loneliness"..that line will haunt me every day as I look out my window and bare trees and barren ground. Magnificent Sandra. A haunting shadow to take with me on cold walks.

wow thank you John for such an awesome comment...i dislike the winter landscapes more than any other time of year... snow and ice might be pretty to look at but they grow old, winter is just so colorless and bare... hugs

Sandra this poem is truly beautiful, but all of your poems that tend romantic have lose. PLEASE you need not answer and I hope not block me, but, may I ask Sandra, are your poems of the death of a true lived one? I apologize if I'm asking something to personal. All, but a few, of my poems are based on truth. What I see or think or feel that day; and then for sure my true love for my real Muse. I hope I haven't pried Sandra.
