The Call of the Void
The call of the void grows stronger..
Too many open windows I've passed.
Annoyed as the hours stretch longer,
Wishing these days wouldn't last.
The call of the void booms louder.
An unrelenting curse has been cast....
I'm still here, & I couldnt be prouder,
Though daunting, these hauntings of past.
L'appel du vide is still ringing.
Trying hard to not answer its call.
The voice of daughters cease singing,
If moms don't get up when they fall.
The call of the void echoes through me.
I feel its vibrations day in & day out....
Though often it's merely a whisper,
These days it's more of a shout.
