Day 30! I'm finally finished! Boy, these last few days have been a struggle, but I'm so glad to have completed another NaPoWriMo. Thanks for your support and comments. :)
Arc
What a tough life
If a true one
Even more strife
Every new sun
Such a sweet face
Such a hard fall
Let there be grace
After losing all
When the sun sets
And the tears flow
With a face wet
In the moon’s glow
Is my prayer heard
For this poor soul
Plucked to pieces
Can they not be whole
And I smile wide
Laughing with tears
At the turned tide
At the old fears
I sit waiting
As credits roll
Recreating
Bitter scenes in full
Shaking my head
For bearing pain
Of one long dead
Acted for gain
So I ache prayers
For a real heart
Wretched with tears
Let their healing start
