Aftermath

AFTERMATH


Walking among broken dreams
Shards of hope glistening
Crushed beneath the hopeless weight
Of lies and despair

Searching in the smoky ruins
Blackened stumps of memories
Blown apart like paper houses
Shifting in the breeze

Looking up through foggy haze
Memories of happier days
Shine beyond the clouds above
Taunting golden rays

Can I ever fly again?
Will this nightmare ever end?
Will broken wings begin to mend,
And carry me home to love again?

I must be feeling creative today...

I just read another poem you posted, TREASURE, and loved it! Now, after reading AFTERMATH, I am profoundly impressed. You have such a beautiful way with words. Thank you for sharing them with us all.

thank you devanna for sharing your poems with us all
you are talented

Thanks for the kind words you guys. It means a lot to me that you enjoy the poems. It's funny, but I haven't written any poetry in years, and now I can't seem to stop. At least it's a way to express all the strong emotions I have been subject to in the last 2 months.
