Rust stained memories

echo in the creaking of abandoned steel.

Wheels of felicity that never turned

against the backdrop of somber skies

weep tears of bitter fates

stillness...

silence...

gravestones of haunted days

reminding us of what can be lost

by hands that hold too little care.

About the Creator

Ellie Hoovs

Breathing life into the lost and broken. Writes to mend what fire couldn't destroy. Poetry stitched from ashes, longing, and stubborn hope.
