Fay Slimm - Bleak Separation.

She scanned the horizon's
............................ blue shadowed hills,
Its misshapen bent trees,
.................................. blackened today,
Appeared grotesque.
......................... She tried to stand still
Carrying weight of his absence,
.......................................... but swayed.

She thought of him always
............................... at day's dusk-time
When swift breezes caught clouds
.......................... joined them to waves
That left wakes on the beach,
................................. like tears of rime
Which made channels
.......................... into her heart, saving
Wet stings to spear hope,
......................... yet, calmly she knew
That love, deep as the sea,
.......................... coping with distance,
Would stronger be,
................. would blossom as it grew,
Despite bleak
................... separations's insistence.
