Alone and Naked

anonymousblue

I have walked for miles

on many a moonless night,

carrying a wet torch

and pockets full of dust,

ignoring the wind's consolation,

trampling on bluebells

and spear grass

with equal indifference.

 

I couldn't make it.

I confessed to being alone

and naked to the wolves

chasing me;

I wept like a lamb

as they bit me.

In pain and despair

I reached for the sky

and hoped for a sign.

 

I'm still hoping.

    While you are hoping, use the torch to fight. Well penned and welcome to the site.

    A fine write.
    What you doing, alone and naked, being chased by wolves? You need to be indoors, not out on a night like that! heehee.
