A family of none
convenes in silence
Like vultures they descend
feathers ruffled and furled
a dark night night awaits all who hope
the hope of the hopeless
A family of none
Gathering seeds
stowing them away
for when the other is starving
becomes a natural prey
A light shines o’er the house
only a few come out
in the darkness
their secrets locked away
A family of none
forever will be…

Really liked this- well penned
Thank you kindly! A little dark for this time of year – but realistic view of the other side of the holiday season for many.
