The weather has changed; the sky is dull and grey and unseasonal rain falls softly, tenderly, on that wandering soul of the will to live. Yet still the scene is beautiful in a morbid sort of way and the will intrigued sets out to experience the fullness of a life away from home. And then there’s a pause, nothing changes overall, and a flicker of regret shivers through that wayward one to make of further travels an unsound endeavour. The soul of the will to live ashamed turns homeward bound to unite with its other half still stoking up the fire and the change in the weather no coincidence but love working magic in its own peculiar way!

The angst, the sorrow and will to live, is evident in it's endless adversity. Many hugs, Helen honey~ |
