You flew to distant lands,
I, to assisted living.
You blossomed,
My garden wilted.
Silent. Dusty.
Sunsets, delayed.
Sunrises, lengthened.
Earth, stopped.
Festivals, eco-friendly.
Get-togethers, boastful.
Frames, blank.
Lives, vacuous.
We, plucked out unceremoniously,
Like overgrown weeds.
You, swallowed by the dollar-jinx.
I found this to be very evocative. I've had similar emotions.
ReplyDeleteI am a little sad to hear that you can relate to these feelings
DeleteThe circle. Very nicely written and presented. I like it a lot.

DeleteLoving the contrasts here!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your encouragement
DeleteOh, ouch. Sunsets delayed and sunrises lenghtened really spoke to me.
ReplyDeleteI like that part personally too. Thank you Kymm
DeleteI'm with Kymm - the sunset/sunrise image together with the earth stopping is fantastic. Great job, Ruby!
