Sense Sonnet - Acher

 Loss

I walk the town streets all alone.

Walking toward the sunset I go.

The saddest walk I've ever known,

The waves of grief through me do flow.

This loss did come so suddenly,

So unexpectedly it came,

A devastating loss for me,

My life will never be the same.

Through the glow of the setting sun

I see the church steeple rise to

Beckon this lonely, grieving one

To come to God and so I do.

The church is closed this time of day.

Upon the church steps I do pray.
