SHE WALKS ALONE

Michael Edwards

 

 

 

SHE WALKS ALONE

 

From eyes that pierce the mortared stone

the tears of sorrow she once shed

now dried like rivers in the sand.

 

As steadfast winds that easeful blow

where in its midst as ships at sea

she walks alone alert, aware.

 

In shadowed archways lanterns shine

she stands, she stares

in sacrifice of sentiment.

      An austere atmosphere in your haunting words today.... or am I being affected by the Ukraine conflict.

        A bit of both I guess. Thanks Dusk.

        Very expressive and truly crafted finely. I enjoy the images your presenting and the final line is an expression very direct and poignant. "In sacrifice of sentiment" 💖
