Waiting Hearts

Always dreaming that the storm will pass

Raging winds didn’t enhance the cold exterior

Ice was within those veins despite the hearth inside

It was challenging yet the light remained steady

Holding on to the little glimmers

There brief yet not a uncommon flickering of light

Joy sparkled in those eyes sometimes

They held its audience captive with hope

Maybe he will love her this time

Never getting that the shining in those eyes

Was a simple reflection of their own love

Mirrors don’t always show people the truth

When fog comes in from warm hearts and a cold soul

About the Creator

Lisa Pulliam

I love making fun of my emotions, feelings, and thoughts in short form writing such as songs and illustrations. I would like to write longer and more explorative pieces for others to read.
