Foreboding


Tonight the strings
Of my heart
Plays no song,
Its notes frozen…
Only an echo of
Impending fear
And unease,
Intangible but real
Looms like a shadow.
The cloying silence
Whispers and rasps
Foreboding an omen,
While my beating heart
Squirms and begs
For release.
The night is deathly still
As if it awaits…
Watching …
Dark clouds swirl
Overhead…
Words, comforting words
Are lost somewhere
In this disquiet.
I sit alone and wait…
Something is looming
Around the corner…

    So beautifully written, Rimly. We are all gripped by nameless fears from time to time...and with the morning comes light outside and within....

    Corrine thank you. I was suddenly very fearful that night, as if something bad was about to happen. Thank God my fears were unfounded. The morning light drove away all the fear.

    Rachel, Jessica and Bonnie thank you. Actually it gave me the creeps writing this poem. I really felt something ominous approaching that day. Nothing happened though, just a false alarm.
