Literature Text

Blinded by her love and pain
She walked and lost her way
Her way she did not regain
With her voice, she longed to say

Now, she walks in the night
Seeking a way out
Her eyes no longer giving sight
Her voice unable to shout

Her life cut short she walks in white
Through the wooded glade
The mists that blow through twilight
Her restless soul is swayed

She can't see the light, calling her back home
Though she senses it's true warmth near
In her heart longs to atone
She sheds a silent blackened tear

And continues blindly alone
This poem was inspired by [link]

The image kept begging to have a story or poem written about it and this is my take. I truly hope you enjoy it.

Very nice, how you've evoked the "woman in white's" inner thoughts!

Technically, the rhymes are good, but the inner rhythm stumbles just a little. Try counting the syllables in each line, and see if you can get them to match, with the accented syllables where they do the most good. Fortunately the English language has enough synonyms that you can usually find a word that matches both meaning and rhythm. 8-)

Even with that, it's a lovely poem. :)
