Libra Distressed

Lorna



Man you really rocked my scales

When you died

The blasts of wind

That blew over your passing

Teetered the fortress of the past

Like a microburst storm

Mortar rearranged itself

And windows flew

All I could do

Was put my head in my hands

Watch the destruction

Wait it out

Some of the damage

I fear

Will be permanent

          Such a loss can be devastating, like the world will never be the same again, but time will rebuild the world as you know it
          A heart-wrenching poem, well written and expressed. - Phil A.

          Such a loss can be hard to bear, I know that when my wife died but there will come a time, as it has for me, when love will rise once more Lorna.
          Very good emotive words.
