Two miles east of the overgrown common
Her fragile body was found,
Lying face down in a restless quiet.
Solitude nervously sounds.

A peaceful sleep premature
For a handful of troubled years
Gasping for breath in a world exhaled
From a mouth that we struggled to hear.

It wasn’t a game or rehearsal
For a distant afternoon,
But a pained midnight sunset; a fading
Of the light we never knew.

Out of the morning, she vanished that day
Into tears we tried hard to ignore;
Failing to stop at the gaps left behind
To wipe both her feet at the door.

You write pain well. This just tears at one's heart. Quite expressive in brevity, yet tells me so much.

Enjoy your talent,

Hugs, Pat

So well done it hurts to read. A difficult subject done clearly with skill and with respect. Thank you for sharing this.

And thus, Amber Alert was conceived.
Well done, Pete!
