Grey sky with intent thought to harvest lament over there where unhappiness grows and transport it by courier service straight to the door of love in readiness for a sneak attack when daylight begins to show. The good news is there’s nobody home and never will be again because the spirit of soul took a mirror one day and held it in front of the flesh. And it saw the result of hope’s slow death in layers and layers around the wait and how dreams unfulfilled in saddened hang have cow-towed to a lack’s obsession to finally make of love the unlovable and of the fair the downright ugly. Such is the way when opening the door to a malicious and willful attack that saps the will of weakened hope and subjugates the yearn of passion. But grey sky doesn’t lie when silently sly it arranges and pays for delivery because receptive minds are easy targets for an unbidden lament attack ~ and, oh, how it thrives until mirrors arrive to show and display the cost of no hope and exhibit to self love’s long stay away. Grey sky – oh, my, it seems just like life that initiates over and over again until the innocent become the oppressors in sheer and utter retaliation for lament’s so ghastly attack on a heart‘s indefinable part!

When we don't see it coming it hurts the worst. Like a sucker punch, nobody wants to be the sucker. An eloquent and expressive write Honeybunch! :-) |

Thanks, Steven. Perhaps we all have to be suckers at some point in our lives just to say that we know the ways of man - before moving on, you understand. |

Thank you, Dave, Dixie, froggy, and WindWalker for the read and, yes, Dave, I guess some elements of life can be like vampire attacks. And Dixie - inspiration comes from the sky, the air, mountains, sea, life, and the feel of love remembered inside. |
