    • Perhaps! The best poem that I have read on Stars. I am not very good with comments, but this one grabbed my soul, Lady! This one deserves an award.

      Al

      PS. Keep in touch.

      • Mary and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts. This was an expression long in the building and much in need of voice.

    • Powerhouse,both of you are amazing women.

    • Really love this, the two of you simply rock Ladies

      • We needed to give this one its moment. Thank you so much on behalf of both of us

    • Powerfully penned, Willow & Mary. I love the guitar riff in this, and have got to ask what was that? A cello or violin at the beginning and end with a distorted effect on it. Whoever made that call, that was pretty cool. Nice collaboration you two. Appreciate you, both.

      Damian

      • That was indeed a cello! That was my call. Cello has the same deep gut effect as bass…which is my obsession. Mary digs violin more. But I’m rubbing off on her. 😉 We poured ourselves into this one. Thank you so much, my friend

    • This is one inspirational powerhouse of a collab
      Take a bow, ladies.
      Ya’ll have definitely outdone yourselves

      Much respect

      Naaj

      • Thank you so much, Naaj. This was a labor of love and a reignition for us both. I’ll pass along your words to Mary 😊

    In The Early Mo(u)rn

    It’s the precipice of a new daythe sun borders on glistening frost and I realize this day will go on without you. A new year and still…everything feels mournfully adrift.

    • hello beautiful Honoria I deeply understand this sentiment so beautifully written hugs ❤️

      • Dear B,

        Thank you very much for getting it. Grief is such a singular event that really does knock the crap out of us. I miss everyone from DU terribly which has added to my losses. I’m very happy and grateful for you ❤️. H🌷

    • Beautifully penned, H. Excellent write my friend. Appreciate you.

      Damian

      • Dear D,

        Thank you so much. As mentioned to Brenda I miss all our DU connections which as compounded my personal losses and I’m very grateful to see you and your lovely comment. Thank you. H🌷

    • The return of H! Really good to see you scribbling again. Grief is such a bitch – sweeps in like an unexpected mist on a summer morning. You succinctly capture the heart’s burst. Rob (or Bobski to those pesky Londoners)

      • Dear R,

        Absolutely not a Londoner! 😝
        Grief is brutal and no matter how you go through it it does sweep in like an unexpected mist on a summer morn. Thank you for the boost. So very much appreciated. H 🌷

    • Well, here’s to hoping this isn’t autobiographical.
      And if it is, here’s to hope and new days 🌼

      • Dear AJ,

        I’m much obliged to the hope and new days idea. The process of grieving is exhausting and much like the ebb and tide of an ocean. Thing is I like the ocean. Not so much grief. 😔
        I’m very glad to see you and very grateful to have our DU connection. Thank you! H 🌷

        • We often accompany someone to the veil but always come back alone. But sunderings are only for this world. One day loved ones will greet and welcome us home. Our true home. I look forward to that day. That is my hope.

          • My hope as well my dear friend. The charm of loneliness is a real kick in the gut. However, with the upcoming Yuletide I wish you the loveliest season ever. With as much joy and fun as you can stand. 😊xx

    • Hi H!

      Aww I’m so sorry for everything you have been struggling with lately. Loss and change are emotionally exhausting.
      It gives me hope that you are writing it out though. Facing it head on because what else are we to do, right?
      Just remember there is light at the end of the tunnel chica. Hang in there:)
      And did I mention I’m so happy to see you posting!
      I can’t wait to call Mark and tell I read your post!

      • Dear A,

        Thank you! If I could have faced this ass backward I would have because in truth I like to hide and avoid reality at any cost. Unfortunately life won’t let me and that’s annoying. Been a sad year but I’ve taken joy in knowing you have a book out and I’ve been shopping. 👍🏻
        I wish you the loveliest of Yuletide blessings. A healthy and happy new year to you and Mark! H xx🌷

    • Sigh…
      This is less a poem and more a shouting (inside) from frustration. This is how you released it.
      Not in vain, dearest H. We feel the words and sense the wisps of grief.
      I’m glad that you are here, posting, in any capacity.

      • Dear M,

        It was a realization of absolute reality. I don’t have these two people anymore and I can’t outrun the sadness. That said I’m over the moon to see you and A on my page. A gift from all of you really. I’m hoping you’re well and looking forward to spending the holidays together. Thank you for this support. It’s lightened the burden and I’m grateful.
        Merry Christmas to you and A! H 🌷

        • Me and Del are still going strong. We knew that distance would be a factor far more often than not. Yet it’s worth it. Eventually we will be together to stay.
          In the meantime we have you and others to share our time with!
          Merry Christmas H. And i hope the new year brings new joys to ya!

          • Nothing worth while is ever easy and all the more cherished. You two are the best. Have a wonderful holiday season! Xx

    • A beautiful piece.
      Full of warmth.
      Regards
      James

      • Dear J,

        Thank you very kindly for your lovely comment. I gravely appreciate it and wish you a wonderful and Happy New Year. H 🌷

    • Dear AA,

      Thank you for your kind comment. Although if you’re feeling this you recognize the ache of loss and for that I’m very sorry. I really appreciate your read and visit, thank you. H🌷

    • This is heart touchingly beautiful, dear Honoria. I feel your loss and your strength as well! Pouring your heart on the paper is a wonderful and helpful way to cope with pain keep it up, beautiful poetess!

      • Dear S,

        Thank you very much for your lovely comment. This has boosted my spirit greatly and I’m so appreciative. Wishing you much happiness and health in this new year. Thank you once again. H 🌷

    • “A new year and still, everything feels mournfully adrift.” I lost my brother a few months ago, and this really hit a nerve for me. It’s as beautiful a piece as I’ve have ever read…or ever will. Thank you for touching my soul.

    • Dear KS,

      I’m so very sorry for the loss of your brother. It’s such an interesting transition trying to navigate life after loss. It feels surreal as though I’m in an alternate universe, and one I’m not liking. Your comment has honored me profoundly and I thank you for reading and sharing your kindness. Keeping you and your family in my thoughts and thank you very much once more for your lovely comment. H🌷

    • Honoria this is so heartfelt, thank you for sharing.

      • Dear K-1,

        Thank you very much for your read and kind comment. I really appreciate it and I’m glad to have your visit tonight. Thank you again. H 🌷

    • Hello Honoria, grief is so difficult and quite often the time that passes seems to linger.

      Miss you
      ❤️ jackie

    • Dear J,

      A very insightful observation, and sadly with no expiration date. I’m so glad to see you tonight. I hope you’ve been well. Still feels odd without DU but your visit has cheered me considerably. H xx🌷
