Emptiness

Emptiness

When day seems grey
And laughter fades
Into the dimness of memory
I think of happier hours and
Joy exquisite at your side
When the light was clear and
Bright as everlasting dawn
But now I cannot see
And mind and body
Cry out or comfort
Unobtainable
Oh that you could share
My pain and walk my road
But sensibility was not yours
And I am tired
Leave my memory
And clear the road
I did not know and now
I do not care
I search or strength
I search or peace
And an end to emptiness

Such a heartfelt write Francesca. But one that I resonated with strongly. The Cosmos is here for you! Kind regards. The Fish of the Sea

Powerful piece Francesca, I can't even begin to feel the misery your country is feeling, the hardest hit by the virus, I pray that love and light will overcome the darkness.
