I thought of you today
a wish floating from the cracks in my heart.
Slivers of silver moonlight
carve through the darkness.
Reflected remnants of a cool blue sun
covered in wintery snows.
As your footfalls fade into the nestling silence.
Our garden has become a plain of dust
and my tears salt the earth.
I thought of you today
A wish in ruby red slippers
fading on a tarnished yellow brick road.
They were just tail lights
Gone now,
around the bend.

I clicked on your poem because I used to have a horse called Circle of Wolves.
As to the poem, if I had known it was free verse I wouldn't have clicked because I hate it with a passion.
I'm therefore the last person to give an opinion.
Sorry for clicking and wasting your points.

How sad. beautifully sad

Aww...
Is this based on a true experience? If it is, then I'm sorry. If it's not, then whatever. Either way, it was a very well-written poem. LOVED the Wizard of Oz references.
Can't wait to read more of your work!

Your "somewhere over the rainbow" will come one day, my friend...
I wish I had the words to reassure you that you will find what you're looking for
Beautiful poignant piece once again
