The Cold World

She sits
silent
watching
the leaves have all fallen
the snow has fallen too

She sits
staring 
out of her window
wondering 
thinking
remembering.

She sits
wrapped-up
cozy in her thick, 
flannel blanket.

Her world
is in a lull 
Not sure 
where she's going
from here
from anywhere.

Her future 
is uncertain 
Her past 
is a confusing blend
of the highest of highs
and the lowest of lows.
and just being alive
to see each day.

Her children
truly love her.
Her husband
adores her.

But still
she has a hole
in her heart.

An ache 
that pulls
at her soul.

She sits
looking
quietly 
out into the cold world.
Snow drifting down slowly
The world turned white.
The world sitting still
as she sits
and looks
quietly out the window.

Unity

 Each  and every  day we grow older Our wrinkles grow deeper Our hair thins greys and falls out Each  and every  day We grow My heart aches ...
