Secular Poetry Soft rains fall outside my window
Their song mingling with these bitter tears
A broken sigh escapes my lips
As I gaze upon the darkened skies
Longing for something more
To escape the pain that waits on the morrow.
The clouds part and the moon peeks out
Offering some silent comfort,
But nothing now can heal the scars
Forever marring this broken heart.
A cool wind ruffles the leaves on the trees
I shudder, chilled to the bone.
Night gives way to morning
Day fades into night
But my heart knows only darkness.
A lonely weariness invades my body
Enveloping my heart and soul.
Lying back against the pillows
Strewn across this bed of stone
I close my eyes, hoping for a peaceful dream
As sleep slowly draws me into its warm embrace.
The imagery in this poem is beauiful though sad. You wrote the pain of this very well. This is definitely one of my favorite poems you've written, I love it and I can relate.
