Finally Poem by Vanessa Kingsley

Near to summer in this town
Feels like autumn right here
On a bench in an active park
Heartbroken and feeling alone
Time unknown
The sun casts its rays on opposite trees
A hill of sparkling hues
Birds sing their melodies
The drone of people somehow audible
On a bench in the shade
An owl hoots above my head?
Or another bird I do not know
City sings sweetly in my ear
Taking me away to another time
Another place
Behind me a flowing creek
Soothing; it heals a part of me
So much anger and pain I hold inside
Suddenly
Washed away
The water a brownish-green
Storms all week
