Between the Lines

Without  Praise

Cramped body and mind
by thoughts trying to exchange
everyday "whys".

Cold seeping in
betrayed by believing,
lack of support creating holes.

Shadows drain the night
while behind the mask
a stranger emerges

Taking up the alone,
its cloak heavy
without praise.

M

Hi Maureen...."why" can be such a dangerous question when it lets in the dark and alone.

I will heap lots of praise on this one, Maureen

"lack of support creating holes."

Lack of support literally does create holes in one's aura.

I don't simply read your poetry, ~ I feel it.

Sending you heart hugs pretty lady~

In the midst of winter,
I found there lives within me..
An invincible summer.
