Torn Soul

Twisted tatters of a torn soul,
bound forever on the the wind to blow.
Never to alight and never know,
the comfort of rest, of being whole.

Broken branches of a beating heart,
stilled at last by a summer of storm.
No longer the leaves of summer form,
forever, from the tree, now set apart.
