Lonely Woman
poem by:
Elizabeth Ladji
Written
on Feb 12, 2015
she rarely kept her windows open
when the moon was bright
the softness that came from the sea
and the rush of starlight
the air after midnight
and the balm of the breeze
as the days passed
she understood she wouldn't be there forever
a change was happening
she was inside the shell
of a dream.

Frank J. Davis commented:
Rather than suffering from clinical agoraphobia, this "lonely woman" appears to be living out self-imposed isolation.
Lovely and haunting work, Elizabeth!

Wow! This is really deep and can cause several thought responses with each reread. This is neat verse I greatly enjoyed. Thank you.
