fallen days

I have to be honest here. Such grief as you describe has never been mine to experience. But, as a human, and a poet, I can feel the emotions seeping out of your words. I like the way you use the weather, particularly rain which you have used in other poems, to represent the feelings. "Artful sheep in sodden piles" is a great line. 

Wow,
Was that a dream ?
Or a flash of reality ?
There are sink holes,
