A song

I was at a loose end today, so I thought I’d get Suno to set an old poem of mine to music! Here’s what happened.

.

,

.

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

      Thanks so much Jodi. Poetry’s not really my thing, so I’m pleased you liked it!

    Well done Keith. Beautiful imagery of the ocean as eyes… brilliant.
