Read MoreFrigid, calm front hides in northern winds,vast sky of my bedroom dims. Stream in wintericed over, mother's embraceletting go at bedtime. Still rainfall,sky's dark pillows,eyelids become anchors, smothering. The cold frontblanketing these damp lids,peacefully covers the coming storm.

My mother was the opposite of this. Now though, she’s a different person. You have an exquisite way of expressing yourself, Daniel

I admire the ease with which you express your inner world. Stoic, melancholy, honest and beautiful write. You are there in every word, thank you for the share!

Okay, that is gut-wrenching. To lay there and live a slow death that you did not sign up for. Not right at all.
This is executed well -

Thanks for the thoughtful comment Fia.
It’s not right and it’s not wrong , it’s just the way it is.Like everything in life,even suffering is impermanent.

I’ve often felt that pain is preferable to apathy. That quiet passing out of space. This haunts & hurts. So often the case, & always hard

First the Technical: Excellent consistency with meter, beautifully executed rhyme.
Composition: Incredible depth. As Willow noted, the piece reflects a falling away, a loss of touch and intimacy with no explanation. It’s a death of sorts, and you’ve painted it perfectly. Really well done.

Really seems to be a struggle to get the formatting to stay the same. Strike two. 😠

Lol, take two, and take three to get the picture aligned. I make simple things hard. Its a gift.
But more importantly, thank you for your sweet compliment. Fools are getting rarer but players are out there in record numbers. Nice to meet another of the vanishing breed. 🌼

Powerfully penned, Daniel. You were a great writer then as well my friend. Twenty years ago huh? My high school days seem like a million summers ago. Appreciate you.
