My Poetry - WHEN ONE

WHEN ONE

By: Nicole Allen

When one puts emotions close to their heart

It makes one think harder and put together the parts

When one is lonely, the house is quiet and still

Never moving, only watching, this everlasting trill

When one is exhausted, dry eyes and sorrow means nothing

Only the comfort of rest and the softness of night can calmness bring

As night dawned on, and the lonely one slept

The sky heard their cry, and loudly it wept

The light broke through trees and the water was pouring

Slowly stirring the lonely heart to see what was going

They looked out the window to see the dark skies

The clacks of thunder and the rhythm of cries

Replenished yet cold, the lonely heart was thinking

Of how to make this day mean a greater something

When two are connected, when they weep and cry

A feeling of relief and hope made everything seem right
