Woman’ Loss
She stands with her bent leg on the wall,
Her formfitting white dress flows and fall
Below her knees, showing a slither of thigh
As she lays back on the white washed wall,
Her black hair coiffed over her shoulder,
As elegant as you please, with sunglasses, reflecter
Of the world, but a mask for her pain,
As a straw hat dangles from tips of finger,
She looks into the sky, wondering
If he’s watching and judging
Her actions after his loss,
Living a life without his supporting
Embrace, as she holds the tears,
Never giving them free reign, she bares
Her soul into her dark glasses and prays
For patience from the One above, and cries.
