    A Mother's Hug Goodnight

    Frigid, 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.

    • 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.

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

    Live On

    Something has died within me. Something like the soul,  yet my body lives on.   Something has occupied the void. And I know not what it could be! But it feels elegantly poetic!   It may be what saves my life. And may be what drives me to...

    • 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.

      🙏

    • Quite moving..thank you for sharing

    • 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. 🌼

    • I swear to all things fuzzy, if I could get that bookmark function to work, this would be well & truly bookmarked! Amen & pass the bottle! Beautiful…

      • And what a functionally challenged group we are! But I’ll take word for deed, and kindly hand you the flask. Thank you, dear Willow 🌼

    • Thanks reading and sharing your thoughts. Its true, “Those that have it at any level are lucky and blessed.”
