Linking “cloud” quadrille (44 word poem) with dVerse Poets…(photo by lynn)
monday mood
in layers of grey
lowering, glowering
clouds are shrouds
for secret fears
and private tears
as each soul
only knows of
its own sorrows;
cannot fathom another’s
though true sisters/brothers
might try to sigh
with kindred spirit’s cry
in overcast
empathy.
“Each heart knows its own bitterness… ” -Proverbs 14:10

Oo I like the soundscapes your words engender. Almost wish I didn’t like this sort of gloom so much

empathy is something wonderful – and it is great when there are friends who just listen and are there in difficult cloudy times… beautifully penned

as each soul
only knows of
its own sorrows…. love that cause we can only imagine what we don’t experience first hand.
