When raindrops fall,
On petals soft,
The flowers pout,
As they do, oft

From the weight
Of fallen tears
Until the sorrow
Disappears

Then nourishes,
All who grieve,
A silent means
To give reprieve

Tis then the sun,
Again, does shine,
To dry the tears,
Of those, who pine

 

Hard to believe #NaPoWriMo is over, although truth be told, it felt like an eternity.  Congrats to all who participated this year.  Here’s to 2021!! ❤

Keeping Secrets – #poetry – #JanuaryWriting

Best to keep secrets, out of sight, under disguise

Sweep them far away from you, hide those nasty lies

In the belly of the broomstick, just let the dust collect

No one will find the answer, no one will ever suspect

Tidy up your space, so nobody dares to cause you grief

On to other chores, they’ve moved, what a sense of relief!

Until someone comes along, to sweep the dusty rug

And finds what’s hidden there, and all you do is shrug

Knowing that your precious secrets, were never truly kept

Underneath the carpet, where all your dirt was swept

 

January Writing Prompt – The answer rested quietly inside the belly of the broomstick – Day 13/31

My Intermittent Absences ~ Please bear with me

Hello friends,

This past weekend, I had to say goodbye to a very dear friend.  He was an incredible man, much like a brother to my husband, and treated our family with so much love and respect.  I am having difficulty dealing with his death, and as such, I have not been writing, nor visiting WP as often as usual.  Please bear with me, as I work my way through these emotions.  Thank you  ❤

We All Grieve

death, grief, Night Owl Poetry, poems, poety, sorrow

We all grieve
Some of us silently
Some aloud
Each of us choosing
To remain hidden
Or be seen by the crowd

Yet our hearts break
The same either way
As we weep together
The comfort we find
In the ones around
Is hope it will get better

They guide us through
The hurt and pain
Blanketing our sorrow
Of a life cut short
And we say goodbye
To begin again tomorrow
