Poetry: By: Christine McFarlane

Dark skies

Heavy heart

Tears glisten

At the corner

of my eyes

Threatening

To spill

 Flooding

Everything 

Around me

Dark skies

Heavy heart

Tears glistening

In the corner

of my eyes

But I fight

And hold them back

Because I know

Inside

There's no reason to cry

 The skies

Can change tomorrow

With darkness

Passing

And my heart

Growing light

Once more
