[hometext] => Written in traditional sestina format, a challenging style
[bodytext] => On her face, rain drops And lets fall a broken hope Easily seen through saddened eyes, Their glimmer dim, now dark And reflecting a hint of cold. A soul set apart, lonely... Oppressively lonely... Heart, now a rock, drops As a bird to intense cold. All gone now, hope, Her world shades to dark, Clouding her eyes. And through her worried eyes Only a single person seen - a lonely Figure cloaked in dark. From his hand drops A shimmering sign of hope... Perhaps a change from the cold. Warmth on her mind, but again cold And in the eyes of the cloaked figure she sees hope Is no longer a refuge from feeling lonely. Figure fading and gone, And to her knees she drops Groping for safety in the dark. Searching for warmth in the dark Empty-handed and futile... and cold, Head heavy, drops And heavy, too, her eyes Behind them a lingering thought, "so lonely..." And for her, a candle extinguished - hope. Laying... cold, silent, no need now for hope. The world around pitched into dark Devoid of life and lonely... Itself wishing for something to ease the cold. The moon's steady gaze reflecting in her eyes, Open now forever, halfway through frozen tear drops. Her hope - failed savior against cold. Night sky, though dark, extending to her eyes Fingers of God, those lonely raindrops and drops and drops...
