Stardust: (Sunday Whirl 584)

Fine Lines of Sorrow
Grief has no timeline. Just time and linesOf memoriesStalking me.While I seem fine,Fine lines defineWhat’s missing.And quite insidiously,Grief creeps, a vineThat takes time to windUp in meAnd surprise meEvery time.It has no point. Just lines And linesOf the tears I tendTo weep.Kisha GreatJoy Spencer

I like it. Enjoy. Avian When she flies clouds partPart of it the forceForce not all the reasonReason is they […]
