a wailing, mournful cry


we all have times when it seems that the sun will never shine again...


When the night closes in
and the darkness is deep
past memories become thieves
that rob me of sleep

Times that keep secrets
converge in a swarm
relentlessly stinging
with a venomous scorn

Restlessly seething
the breath in my chest
rising and falling
dark waves on the crest

Surging forth in crescendo
a wailing, mournful cry
suspended in air
just one question ....

WHY?!!
