for Sue Vincent’s #writephoto and Ragtag Daily Prompt both of which have Serenity as their given word.
.
She sits and stares
unfocused eyes swimming to the horizon
Gazing into infinity
.
No sign of tears
Her expressionless face an empty canvas
A sea of pallor
I look into her eyes
I see nothing but a swirling mist of grey
That sparkle gone
.
I try to ask her why
a cloud of despair envelopes her
She hears me not
.
But I will wait
I’ll stay by her side for as long as it takes
for her to return
.
But for now
she inhabits a sorrowful place of her own
Somewhere
.
I know not where.
Let me read it to you …
Such a poignant poem Keith. Beautifully written
Thar’s really kind of you Sadje, thank you.
You’re welcome Keith
Sort of sad. Sounds like she is lost. Perhaps when the sun breaks through she will have a new outlook.
I’d like to think so. Thanks so much.
A lovely poem, Keith. 🙂
I’m pleased you liked it. Thank you

I think Sue said it best Keith, a haunting poem. Good one.
Much appreciated Iain.
That is a lovely, sad, and beautiful poem. The video told me to sign in if i had the owner’s permission, not sure what is up with that.
Whoops! The video was set to private. Should work now! Cheers Mimi
The words are soulful, each one seems to envelope with a sadness of its own.
Loved the write! Very evocative!
Thanks so much for your kind words.
Haunting! Full of love too…

I love the reading too – I’ve only seen this on two blogs before that’s yours Keith, and Willowdot’s above. I feel a new challenge about to emerge!
Best of luck! Thanks Laura.
Hauntingly beautiful! I hope she is immersed in serenity, not sorrow.
I’d like to think so. Thanks so much.
