The empty sigh

 


 

The web of intertwined exhalation

Fumes of a heart with an empty sigh

Remains of an abandoned soul

Reflection of a hollow mind

Blocks the flow of free breath

The self inflicted asphyxiation

The pillowed face gasps for freshness

When the support to spend the dark

Is pulled atop in desperation

Then the pent up volcano bursts

Which otherwise could fuel an ore

The flavour of latent skill changes

With perspective of the beam of mind

The clarity of the forthcoming miles

Makes the journey more worthwhile

Else the strife is the labour at treadmill

The vision behind is dimmer and smaller

To avoid the clash with a speeding past

The empty sigh that ends with a smile

Is often a mask of many an unwept tear.
