A shivery evening,
slight breezes there were,
she sat there by the verandah,
with the usual hundred thoughts
that engulfed her entirely.
the thoughts pierced,
through every vein, every cell,
right through her chest,
and struck her weary heart.
the feeling of emptiness,
the lack of warmth,
had stolen her soul,
it had stolen the harmonies of her childhood,
the memories that were hidden there, the faint laughs, the cheery moments,
the blooming smiles, once upon a time.
