Ashes on the Wind

(23 OCT 2011 --  Words are a poor consolation prize for someone playing at the game of Life with tokens of bygone memories. [dht-2011])

Where are the words to describe –

the Heart's yearning for –

Hearth & Home, Family & Children –

and a Loving & Faithful spouse.

LOVE and Laughter -- fade

in the lonely years of Winter.

Sobs of regret tangle in my throat –

as my eyes fill with Tears –

that try to wash away –

the Heartache of my Life.

How do you follow your Dream –

when your Heart has turned –

to Ashes in the Wind

[Dorothy Hazel Tarr - 2011]
