Silence sought

Emptiness

by JLR

 
Attuning to their laughter.
 
Bravely listening to music.
 
Clapping thunderclouds.
 
Dancing lightning bolts. 
 
Energetic dry winds gusting.
 
Frothing waters, gurgling.
 
Grotesque dreams teasing.
 
Hallowed prayers uttered.
 
Impossible possibilities wasted.
 
Jaded loves crushing.
Kindness not returned.
 
Lamentations of sorrow
 
Mother, daughter, child.
 
Nocturnal silence, heavy.
 
Opposition so, unrelenting.
 
Pride nurtures aloneness.
 
Questions, no answers.
 
Rigorous resolve wanes.
 
Strange "free will."
 
Tacit agreements deferred.
 
Unresolved linked chains
 
Victors ultimately vanquished.
 
Withered, wasted, wanderer.
 
Xenially adaptive mindset.
 
Yearning for sunshine.
 
Zigzagging scorching lava
 
 
p.s. In the depth of silence.....emptiness is sought!

It's just a foolish "acbderain" acrostic to stick my toe back into the waters of writing...
Pays one point and 2 member cents.
