Open Wound

Poetry challenge-day one

Hidden in the secret place

Is a chasm far too wide

A gaping darkness firmly set

On pushing back the tide

And in this shadow’s grip

Is a small and hurting soul

Crying out for something-anything

To fill its hollowed hole

An open wound

A passing glance

A stranger walking by

A cry for help

For any chance

That daybreak might be nigh

And one last time

This paining heart

Lets ring a desperate shout

When finally

The final plea

Finds healing reaching out

I will be doing a 30 day challenge of poetry prompts and posting them as I’m able.
