Wandering Words

New Year

Same fear

Dreams tossed

Love lost

Dreams turned

Love spurned

Shattered dreams

Mind screams

Bloodied knife

Widowed wife

Dogs howl

Smells foul

Poisoned wood

Starved of food

Rivers dry

Glassy eye

Burning grass

Blocked path

Hallowed ground

Never found

Frozen time

Same old rhyme

Rhythm jilted

Words stilted

Razor’s edge

Cliff ledge

Learn to fly

Riding high

Floating down

Rushing ground

Eyes open

Words spoken

Fresh dawn

New morn

Awake again

Nightmare ends
