quatrain revised #2
26 11 2007Storm
The glass is weathered yet untouched
by hands; eyes feel all the coldness.
Words become harsher as I clutch
wooden pane and try to relax.Times of happiness and love
seem never to unfold again,
I am left waiting for the dove
to make its mark on all humans.
As a child, I am so young
my parents’ fury and dismay
hits my soul constantly sung
as the leaves outside decay.
Sounds of anger and betrayal
echo along my neck, I grasp
the pane with strength, my all.
The last sound I heard was a gasp.Thundering yells shake my small mass
my mind stripped of innocence.
Outside the wind carries in its clutch
a leaf letting it fly aimless.
