A Heart in Shadow

In shadows deep, a spirit bright, A woman lost in lonely night. A heart aflame, a mind unbound, Yet solitude's chains, tightly wound. A vibrant soul, a playful heart, Yearning for connection, a brand new start. A husband distant, a silent sigh, As financial burdens, soar on high. Exhausted body, weary mind, A future uncertain, hard to find. No tender touch, no whispered word, A life of silence, hardly heard. But hope endures, a flicker's gleam, A chance for change, a distant dream. A path unknown, a future bright, Awaiting courage, to claim the night. ©️DLC 2024
