SOMEONE

Photograph by Mauvine Shepherd

I hear within the eerie silence
Of the newly fallen snow;
The revealing sound of lonely sadness,
For someone she used to know.
Someone who used to hug and hold her;
Someone who used to say,
"We’ll live together here forever;"
Someone who went away!
Someone who loved;
Someone who cried;
Someone who lived;
Someone who died!
Now someone watches every day
For someone!
