Truth Unearthed – Friday Five

Posted by MeeAugraphie

Five simple words chosen by Michelle of Poefusion each week. It is amazing where they take us all.

splinter – distractions – molder – votive – punctuate

Truth Unearthed

Unlike other distractions,
fleeting in nature,
she threatened to become
an unyielding splinter -

burrowed beyond salvage

she sauntered in and out of view
each hip placed in time and air
to punctuate the woman within -

dared him cross the line

It was in stark contrast to
the widow she portrayed:
head bowed, votive in hand,
soul wrapped in solitude -

grace exuded false

He no longer worried
she would molder in grief
nor splinter on self-reflection

crossed line passed

    Isn’t she a caution? That’s an old term. I’m probably the only one that remembers it and I do because my Grandmother used it a lot! Grin. Nice work!!

  3. Marcia, this is great as usual. How women go from grieving to dating so quickly these days? I wonder if its because they still rely on a man for their security? Keep up the good work. Have a nice night.
