She scanned the horizon's <br />............................ blue shadowed hills, <br />Its misshapen bent trees, <br />.................................. blackened today, <br />Appeared grotesque. <br />......................... She tried to stand still <br />Carrying weight of his absence, <br />.......................................... but swayed. <br /> <br />She thought of him always <br />............................... at day's dusk-time <br />When swift breezes caught clouds <br />.......................... joined them to waves <br />That left wakes on the beach, <br />................................. like tears of rime <br />Which made channels <br />.......................... into her heart, saving <br />Wet stings to spear hope, <br />......................... yet, calmly she knew <br />That love, deep as the sea, <br />.......................... coping with distance, <br />Would stronger be, <br />................. would blossom as it grew, <br />Despite bleak <br />................... separations's insistence.<br /><br />Fay Slimm<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/bleak-separation/
