ever felt incomplete
crying out for that missing piece
lost to the vast universe, hidden within its umbra?
I have
peace eludes me
slipping through my fingers despite how far I reach
elusive shadows, echoing my desperation

Dog Days Are Here
Introduction This is a poem for the challenge that you can take up below: I thought I would use a villanelle to emphasise these days come around every year and though they may not always be here, there will always be days like this.

The Spring
The sun was high when Lance pulled off the road and into the dusty lot of the service station. The sign back at the hairpin--the first sign in a long time--said they just rolled into Hatter’s Creek, Population 63. It was small enough it didn’t appear on the handmap in Shelby’s lap, yet here it stood, the first backwater township on the fringes of the National Park. The plan was to gas up, restock the snack bag, and press on into the wilderness.

I really feel this one, the lose and longing for something (peace) that often feels like it's out of our control! Great work Brin!!
Ooooh, umbra! What a good word!
Good work. If I still led counseling groups, I would use this one.
This was so poignantly beautiful and emotional! Loved your Acrostic!
Another fantastic poem! Wonderful!
You are 2 for 2 Brin! Another beautifully written piece!
Oh, I agree, 'I have' hit so hard and just stopped me for a moment. Geez I felt every line and every word and every letter. I have too.
Mic drop of sorts. That "I have" line really hangs there in the void...just...so evocative and emotive...as ever, Brin...you have an inate ability to dig deep and eloquently express things!
