Grey

Heartbroken, she now forever resigned

For alas her sorrow had come to stay

No bells were tolling, no telling signs

No hooting owl on that bitter cold day,

When a fragile heart stopped and the world went grey


She walks at night praying to see his face in the pale moon

And looks for his brilliant eyes in the tempestuous sea,

But he’s not there she’s bereft, for he left gone all too soon

And she, once vibrant is now cursed to forever be

A specter of a woman haunted, yearning to be free

  4. How sad that the sorrow has come to stay. The ending line says it all: A specter of a woman haunted, yearning to be free. Thanks for joining us Linda. Your poem is part of Mr. Linky 🙂

Essence of Summer by Linda Lee Lyberg In spite of this stifling heat the yellow squash blossoms again delicate golden trumpets greeting a watercolor dawn sky as lizards gather on the garden stones waiting for their early feast of beetles racing from the sprinkler’s path to meet an early demise Honeybees dip fragile wings and hairy feet in shallow colorful birdbaths, drinking this precious fluid, for here in the vast southwest each body of standing water no matter how small serves a purpose refreshing life and quenching the thirst of the tiniest of creatures Later when the sun is crackling and frying, the brave garden stills and quiets with nothing but the sound of cicadas singing in the canopy of the mesquite a steady hum ringing in the halcyon air and now the creatures in the garden seek welcome shade and at last, sleep. #charmedchaos #poem #poet #poetry #poetrycommunity #poetryofinstagram
