ETERNITY BURSTS OUT

Garden
You once held time
Under the willow tree
But now eternity bursts out
Singing 

BROKEN SONGS

Broken songs shiver
In the winter’s cold waiting 
Soon the ice will melt

WINTER’S  BEAUTY

Branches
Bare now naked
Stark in winter’s beauty
In vulnerability point
Skywards 

A TEAR

On the ground a tear
Glistens bright in the darkness
Love living in grief 

ECSTASY

Whispers
Catching in hair
Wild and wanton fire burns
In ecstasy we cry as one
Spellbound 

LAST ROSE

Last rose
I watch you die
As your incense rises
On scented wind you live again
Sighing

My name is Lorraine Lewis. I have always written poetry but began to write more in earnest following having serious advanced blood cancer and going blind and becoming wheelchair-bound. I greatly enjoy experimenting with different forms of poetry, preferring shorter forms. 

Lorraine’s work was originally featured in 2020 – March 27 & December 18, and published in The Sound of Brilliance. This year, she was also featured on June 3.

Submissions are now closed but if you’d like to be featured on The Short of It in the future,
