through vast desolation
my heart
drags its beat

the current of loss
sweeps my soul
off its feet

steadfast not broken
my will
braves the tides

I rush with elation
to the shores
of your smiles

flora
dedicated to  DarkMinstrel

Author's Notes: my husband planted the idea for this poem in my head, asking me to write something about "desolation". So, here it is, and I hope you like how it came out!
