Vacuous

submerged in blankness
helpless to escape bereavement
frail and broken, hollow eyed

hope is a remnant
the burden of countless tears
lines etched deeply in her face.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
