Petals strewn upon the wind
Too frail to stay upon the tree
Winds wild, hot and dry
Fade colour from bright to pale
Pink drifts on the world below
Gather softly in curbs and corners
While the tree flowers still
Thro’ morning, noon and night.
“Flowers whisper ‘beauty’ to the world, even as they fade, wilt, fall.”
~ Dr. Sunwolf
“When life begins
feeling too distant,
When, unknowingly,
distances lengthen
Gaps form and
waver all around……”
Gaps are invisible
but filled with our lives
Distance is felt when,
from the blue, a note arrives
Then we know…..
how long it has been.
“Distance was a dangerous thing, she knew. Distance changed people.”
~ Rohinton Mistry, A Fine Balance
Author’s Note: the first three stanza’s were penned by one of my characters (Dez) from Episode 130 of Situationally Theirs. It is a story of two sisters that I wrote throughout the COVID 19 pandemic.
Come with me and
Listen to a story
Of birds and trees
And bumblebees
Of children dancing
In the rain
And the love of
kittens and of dogs
Of kitchen tables full of food,
Of laughter and of love
And all these things
Go round the world
With different songs
Afnd dress and voice.
We live, we love, we cry
No matter where we live.
“Stories are important, the monster said. They can be
more important than anything. If they carry the truth.”
~ Patrick Ness, A Monster Calls
