Sweeps like an emotional tsunami
washes out nature's vibrant hues,
life morphs into a somber shade of gray.
Heavy rains refuse to abate
tears trudge through open fields,
overhead, birds soar unnoticed
while sorrow clings like wet denim
flaunting its unshakable
curves of agony.
Rapt in sadness,
the afflicted takes a solitary stroll
down the path of uncertainty.
