Winter Breath



winter breath prayers
rise
unanswered

longing hearts 
left cold
and tears frozen

  4. i like how you connect the image of winter breath with the prayers, even if they stay unanswered, they make their way through the cold..a bit of sadness in this but hope shines through as well

  6. So sad. Unanswered prayers as frozen breaths...great imagery. But I do hope the prayers get answered someday. Maybe in Spring? :D

  9. Felt like (instead of the dark night of the soul) the cold winter of the soul. Nice, concise write, Patricia.
