Today the summer sun warms not my heart. <br />The bluest vaulted sky has no allure. <br />Each breath is long and merely sounds a sigh. <br />Time hangs a weight of iron round my mood. <br /> <br />To live by looking backward leaves a space. <br />Present moments wither with stifled hope. <br />This cold wait overheats my salty tears. <br />The summer ended when you went away.<br /><br />Fay Slimm<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/cold-wait/
