Separation Poem by Janis Land Raymer

I wander alone...you hear my cries...but refuse to answer.
What have I done to cause you to abandon me?
The darkness is so heavy...The night owls hoots...so lonely, eerie.
The trees' bony arms...reach to gather me to their chest.
The starless sky seeks to crush me in my isolation.
The shadows taunt with echoes of what once was.
What will...I fear... never be again.
