Wishing and waiting.

 

Everything is quiet and still,

on this dark and foggy night.

The air is damp and chilly,

a light drizzle is falling.

I’m alone at the park,

walking slowly on the trail.

I’m thinking about my life,

wishing for a better future.

I’m wanting my freedom,

praying to be single again. 

Still I’m left here waiting,

hoping a miracle will occur.

    I dont know if what you write is true, but if so, make your own miracle. I was once in an abusive relationship. I packed the car one night and left… I took only what I had to take.. and left the rest.

    Very well expressed Darla and very good imagery in your wording!When your wishing for something better sometimes it does take a miracle to make it happen unless all love is gone then it only takes one thing to make it happen,yourself.Although if its just boredom, sometimes the grass looks greener on the other side but it usually isn’t because you fail to see the burnt seared grass hidden beneath. Anyways fab write very thought provoking I think for a lot of people!

    What a beautiful poem Darla! If the poem is about you or even someone you know, I hope there is a chance that you get the miracle that you are hoping to receive.

    Yes, there is …. just that it’s rare…I have experienced miracles.
    Whatever miracle you wish, I hope will come true.
