That day shall come

 

 

 

 

Scattered on dusty winds

zephyrs of despair,

saddened wings of ashen crows

above crying grey skies

morn the sorrow

that weighs down your heart

on lonely ground

with folded arms

and defiant whispers

 

Still the softness

of your soul

flies in circular wisdom,

sailing to new heights,

catching the breeze

of wishing wonders

under your arms

For that day shall come

when you smile…again

I love "zephyrs of despair" - a perfect image of how things get swept away out of control. You have used some incredibly powerful metaphor in this piece and nice alliteration in the second stanza. It ends on a note of hope. This is a delicate write that I really enjoyed. Justine :)
