How I survived last night

The Soul's Night Song

by Brenda Henderson


The RAIN beats against my window whilst the thunder echoes and lightning streaks across the night sky.

The tears stream down my face. There have been so many now that they burn like STEAM.

I hear the thunder clash and the pains of regret and words left unspoken BELLOW from within and shatter the remaining pieces of my already broken heart.

I cry myself to sleep but am once again awakened by the early SONG of a lone sparrow outside my window. One ray of hope remains.
