Lonesome Farewell... Poem by Eric Cockrell

Lonesome Farewell...

Rating: 5.0


lonesome farewell...
wind blown dust,
cardboard boxes in the rain.
the doorknob broken,
the window nailed shut.

empty fields, briars and thorns.
a dead rabbit rotting
on the side of the road.
signs falling down,
tree limbs on the ground.

silence screams, waves of grief!
the smell of want, forgotten lips.
words cling like cobwebs
to the empty walls...
where are you now?

where are you now?

A very lonesome cry I also sometimes echo, sir. Yet, no answer. Great poem.
