Her sadness
Is a slow, solitary walk
Through frozen fields
In darkness.
Palpable unfeeling silence
Enveloping her,
heavy, heartsick,
Homeless, filled with
Overwhelming horror.
She feels there is no hope,
But there must always be hope.
She will surface
From her pool of dark despair.
Forget faith, forget strength,
They demand too much of you,
But have hope,
As long as you have hope,
There will always be a dawn.
