Sky Cries
Virginia Salter

sky cries my tears for me

filling rivers, swelling seas

for stoic, numb, is how I be

a deafened ear, too blind to see

VAS, I don't know who you wrote this for, but I think it was me. I have had a "feeling" all day and didn't know how to explain it. You did it better than I ever could. Good writing. ME

Oh Virginia, there was just so much pain and release within these few words. Into the library this goes, I really do admire how you can say so much with few lines. Excellent rhyming scheme with piercing images. I feel like this a lot, and you have expressed it well.

Take care,
Melissa~

ME, not seeking sympathy, but maybe empathy...I'll e-mail you if I can. Thanks for your wonderful comment.

You, too, j, Sunshine and Melissa, thank you for your profoundly kind comments. I appreciate them very much.

I too can relate to this numbness sometimes. Nicely penned.

Thank you, Poeminister, I'm sure we all can at one time or another. In fact, I think I see a lot of it in our youth, especially in the 80's. I have a theory that that is why 'slam dancing' came about. Kids wanted to 'feel SOMETHING' even if it was pain. Just wanted to know they were alive.
