In This Place

In This Place In this place where all is broken nought to stir the vapid air - silent words remain unspoken no-one there to love or care. In this place where dreams are shattered days are borne in endless time - memories recalled are scattered nothing left to set to rhyme. In this place where sadness lingers cold and empty nights prevail - tears now shed spill through my fingers as the glow of youth grows pale. In this place where life has ended hapless are the days yet borne - ever now all hope suspended waiting for a brighter dawn. ©️April 2024. Valerie Dohren
