Mantle of Wonder

of deepest sorrow. I know that this could be about any number of things, and I might not ever consider what it is really about, but I feel the regret and sorrow most acutely.
"I ask of you,
caress me in the softness
of mourning,
whisper to me of dark places

for now,
I am a broken vow of silence
spoken in a thousand tongues"

This sounds so lonely and distant, I can feel the hurt. Excellent! ~ Love and higgest bugs, Bro. ~ Geez.

but the last 2 lines are excellent

Understanding and interpreting a poem is very huge task hence it takes your mind to deepen your imagination and thoughts to forsee and feel the same emotions of the poet. But here, I'm drenched in her poetic creation. The poet is well- versed in language. Love this!!!

for now,
I am a broken vow of silence
spoken in a thousand tongues

Outstanding line!

The title is perfect. It gives an air of accepted uncertainty that continues throughout the poem. Everyone has picked out some of their favorite lines I see. They seem to have zeroed in on the heart of the thing. Extremely well written.

I can feel the pain, sorrow and regret in every line and the longing for comfort and support. There is a consistent beat to the entire poem and I can almost hear it being spoken in a soft, dusky voice. Well done!
