Midnight Mourning

by June Sargent



A cloak of sadness wraps around my heart

like mists descending from the hills at night.

I do not understand why we're apart.

The happiness that I had hoped would last,

elusive as a butterfly, took flight.

And now my heart and soul yearn for the past.

The nightingale - she tries to ease my pain

with soothing notes until she sees daylight.

But tears just fall like gentle drops of rain.
