The Waltz

Photograph via Pinterest

 

wonder shifts
like sand in
ageless hourglass
evening pours
itself into the
empty glass you
left upon teak
fireplace, flameless 
single heart 
waltzes faintly
under God’s tears
asiatic lilies bloom
skies open, I kiss stars
petrichor whispers

      Thank you so much Henrietta, sending you my love, appreciation and prayers. Trying to remain positive as you encourage us all to on your blog, which is great advise. I feel rather helpless with the killings of school children. Big hugs my good friend. Joni
