windy day

Winter

Wild wind roars

Hands red raw

Yet behind closed doors

Low spirits soar

Though harsh winter bites

With its blanket of white

Inside chill takes flight

By welcome firelight©

 

 

 

empty nest

no escape

from the silence

curtains

darkness yawns

pulling curtains

on the day ©

 

popcorn

sat in darkness

all eyes on screen

inhaling popcorn ©

 

 

 

 

hair

hair falls

to the floor

itchy neck©

 

Numb

Though appear far from glum

Behind smile emotions numb

Hard to hang on

When battles can’t be won ©
