meadow breeze

sings familiar tune

and the wilds

bloom slowly

through the waves of summer warmth

this heart too…blossoms

Sullen is
the air being inhaled
a wrecked land
empty souls
the once lush -  now arid flat
no promises left

with eyes closed
picture them
fragrant of cherry blossoms
cries of children's joy

It's still there
beating deep at night
feelings of
uneasy
some things never moved beyond
they stuck in the past

In my heart

I know it is time

for next steps

a moment of silence to

show must continue

doubt, regret

they come, no ending

let rain pours

why not befriend them – sometimes

we come to unpaved roads, but

treading through we must
