Sketches of Pain
Dark clouds threaten, sky splits apart
Flooding emotions, bleeding hearts
Ugly secrets, women in chains
Broken spirits praying for rain.
Flash of lightning, crash of thunder
Last shred of faith torn asunder
Haunting whistle of distant train
Broken spirits praying for rain.
But something changes in the air
Hope cuts through layers of despair
Fingers tracing sketches of pain
Broken spirits praying for rain.
Dark clouds threaten, sky splits apart
Broken spirits praying for rain.

I wondered how you might follow the lyrical Lotus layour… Leave it to you to allay the landscape with remedial darkness, with a measure of hope hanging in the balance.
Thank you my friend! I always try to incorporate hope, because we have to have it to survive the darkness. And I loved the spoken word audio you did for my poem – so honored! Please feel free to post the audio here so everyone can hear your wonderful work. xoxo
