Empty: Lamentations: Prayers and Poetry

                 Empty

                She wanders through
                familiar streets
                empty.

                Children's laughter
                once vibrant
                echoes hollow
                in the silence.

                Her hands trace
                shells of
                past pleasure
                as she walks
                by
                homes, shops
                now shapeless haunts.

                Turns quickly
                at sudden noise
                only wind blown debris
                clanging.

                Resumes penance
                walk
                hungry for days of old
                remembering precious
                things,
                lost
                captured by
                her transgressions.

Psalm 37:2: "for they will soon fade like the grass, and wither like the green herb."
