soulful sadness Silently, he wept. The sullen stillness weighed on his heart, like water-filled balloons, too heavy to hold and dropped. And broke. Like the water escaping from the balloons, so, too, does his heavy heart spill water-filled tears. The remaining drops, drip, one-by-one, counting out, the beats of his broken heart. The scratched record played a slow, blues rhythm. The woeful dirge drum beat deep, intoning the mournful, will-less, silence of fears. The thump of the heart, in time, with the quiet shadows, showed his soulful sadness. © 2014 ajwrites57 A Long ❤ ❤ ❤ Image by: By Bygone (http://www.flickr.com/photos/bygone/5574430802/) CC-BY-2.0, via Wikimedia Commons If you enjoyed...
