Vast are the horizons surrounding me but damned are these mists that do not allow me to see past this moment, this here, this now as if they were born from the bowels of hell. There are no purple mountains nor fields of green Autumn is here but no colors are seen through the gray mist that dampens the day I hit my knees and I pray take these clouds remove this shroud, please let the sun shine over me It's become too dark I can barely see; lift this curse that hangs overhead because I'm too weak and my emotions have bled me dry. There are no tears left in my eyes let the light break through these sullen skies. |

Donna You words carry images and emotions. I feel like I am peeking under a blanket and saying -- Hi my friend, Loving you, A |

Donna, you sound so sad. I hope this is just poetry ~ mind you, it is a fine emotive write. "I'm too weak and my emotions have bled me dry." ~ I've been there myself and I do understand. Sending a comforting, healing hug ~ if it is needed. If not, then I'll just send a warm, loving hug!  Linda |

I agree, you sound sad, which is good writing. I also hope it is only the writing, since we need the rain, but not tears. |

... makes me want to blow this mist away, to make you smile again, dear Donna. Beautiful work, even though extremely sad. Love, Margherita  |

a very powerful, personal, emotive 'write'! [perhaps I relate to it all-too-well, because I feel so very much the same as many of the things expressed via this somber penning ...particularly: "please let the sun shine over me It's become too dark(!)" [I believe the above effectively delimits a point reached in many (most?!) of our lives 'mid this "Runaway American Dream" it has become rather a cold, 'dark', lonely, myopic/'self-referential' society] Serious applause for this work! |
