There is
a grey pall
over all your views.

Life
didn't turn out
the way you hoped

or planned.  After work
in the parking lot
you slowly walk to your car:

a swan, alone
in the local pond,
(shades of night
upon the hour),

who sadly moves
as circles round

the vacant space
within her heart.

You write sheer beauty.

Don't be disappointed if few people answer a poem....this place is unpredictable, to put it mildly... HOWEVER -- This one goes to the top, where it belongs!

"who sadly moves
as circles round

the vacant space
within her heart."

I shall cry not for her but for how you felt about her.
