Gray clouds above me
Slowly shifting from sight
Ever so softly
Such elegance…

Screams penetrate my ears
The shouts from the barn getting louder
And louder
Breaking any peace I may have had.

No escape
Never any escape.
Ma and Pa will battle until the end of time
While I get lost in the cross fire.

From where I lay,
I turn slightly
Watching and waiting.
The screams go down
The battle has ended
For now.

Another moment of peace
Drifting away with the clouds.

The author's comments:
This poem was inspired by Andrew Wyeth's 1948 painting, Christina's World. Basically the piece goes into what her possible thoughts are in the painting.
