Notice of absence from woundedheart
Sorry due to personal reasons i will be absent for an unknown period of time
Thank you for your friendship and may the Lord watch over you all and keep you safe. ❤❤❤❤

Is it morning? then why so dark,

where is the sun the moon the stars!

Why so very still and silent,

no barking of dogs nor busy motor cars.

Why does the air smell so acrid and stale,

no floral scents nor fast food smell.

Why am I surrounded and yet so very alone,

praying to Heaven, trapped in mine own Hell.

Sight forsake me pray let me not see,

the answer to all my questions, all but one.

How will I live when one so full of life,

has said farewell ... and without me... moved softly on.

      such a tragedy, our greatest Art
      is often birthed
      from our most crushing desolation,
      I'm so sorry, for the suffering
      that created this poignant work
      of emotive poetry,
      stay strong!
      and thank you, for choosing to share

            Your being there is the most important thing. And when the time comes, it won't be good-bye, just "we'll see each other again." I just lost my Dad and that's what I told him the last time I saw him. (((HUGS)))

            • woundedheart

              Thank you I know we will indeed see each other again. ☺
