Alone in the darkness of her garden she wilts, Her once vibrant light shines no more, The sweet colours of her petals bleed slowly from her, The last shimmer of life dully ebbs to the cold floor, And with wounds left unhealed by the breadth of endless time, Her frail, broken body finally crumbles beneath her, Falling rapidly through the abyss of slow beating pain, To the rotting undergrowth where strong roots of hope once were, And like a loving mother calling her sweet child to come home, The dank, wet earth wraps itself around her dying soul, She takes comfort in the cold and dark of nothingness, Where nothing and noone exist anymore.

Wow Moonshine! Pretty powerful work you have here--sometimes I'd like to do just as the woman in the poem is doing...beautiful job. Elizabeth "He have his goodness now. God forbid I take it from him!" -The Crucible |

Moonshine this poem is amazing I'm numb with the feelings that shot through me as I read it....and most of all felt it. I understand the words and have lived a life such as this. Thank you for writing from your soul and sharing it. |

Thanx for your lovely reply and compliment Elizabeth - I wasn't gonna post this but my flatmate thought I should. You would like to do what the woman in the poem does? Why (may I ask)? It is a very personal poem for me. Moonshine. |
