STILLNESS...
She sat fixated on
unimaginable grief.
Isolated, gripped by
darkness that only
few could understand..
The lingering aftermath
of solidarity that once
manifested between them
has left an aching
in her soul . The chasm
between reality and
imagination echos
relentlessly as she breaths
and chokes on
it's bitter layers..
Moving is like lingering
in a quagmire that diminishes
if only stillness rendered.
Hours turn to days.
that turn to months,
now several more,
has kept her
motionless emotionally.
Memories promise to
only bring more as time
slips into the cavernous
endless chapters of a
endless novel that she
continues to recall ..
She turns each page
and continues .. she
will never let it end until
she joins him.. it is then
her loneliness and
sadness will cease..
