Silently brooding, thinking of past endeavors and experiences.
Saddened by their recollections written for all to see in
books of poetry.
Lifelines dangling from inner weeping willow trees, fragile
and timid amidst sweeping billows of sadness's canvas.
Twilight creeping on all fours, hesitant, unrewarded in deep
abysses, always crying forth in penetrated darkness.
A blackened inner eye of depression recruiting memories of
old and parading them unendingly before a sallow mind consumed
with their sorrowful remembrance.

RoseAnn V. Shawiak
