First Line Friday- Into the night

Poetry, prompts

Dylan Hughes is the host of First Line Friday

It is First Line Friday! Welcome and let’s get writing.

Your line for this week is:

He laid awake and said the name into the night

The wind echoed the whispers and scattered them in all directions

In vain he listened and wished there was a reply

The tears soaked his pillow and dried on his cheeks

Morning brought a strange kind of calm, a certainty

That she will return, his message had been delivered

I am writing to express my opinion, share my experiences and to maybe provide some insight. My blog is addressing women at 50 ( but men are welcome to read my posts) ,their issues and the questions that come up at this stage in life. I don’t aim to teach, but to learn together.

  3. He laid awake and said the name into the night
    It wasn’t a past lover
    Or, his mother
    He said the name of his dog
    Oh, how he missed her
    The feeling of her body beside him
    Her loud breaths
    Her even louder snores
    He missed her company
    She was all he had
    And even though she’s gone
    He continues to call her
    Saying her name, into the night
