The wind howls in the night
like a lone wolf howls to the moon.
Darkness wrapps itself around me
as it feels my sorrow.
The wind forces open doors
like a thief in the night.
Light cannot penetrate
as sit here in mourning.
The wind cries for me
as I slowly slip away
into the darkness
of death.

Beautiful imagery there, is kind of sounds a mix of winnie the pooh and blair witch...the howling winds, or withering heights

Thought provoking and powerful. I enjoyed the last stanza the best "The wind cries for me as I slowly slip away into the darkness of death." So much emotion. Great write and thank you for sharing.
