All Temperatures Fahrenheit

All the hurtful words
have been spewed,
spent in stormy bursts
of failure,
years of waning love.

Gusts of air pushed through teeth
contribute to the day’s chill.
Topics turn banal: weather;
the travel of time.

Rain (weeping softy),
no thunder left to give,
only a weak cold front
moving slowly on.

(big hugggsssssss) This is so very sad, sweet friend, I can feel first the anguish then the cold thoughts that filled your heart of emptiness in the end, my heart goes out to you and I hope now the forecast for you is always sunny and filled with hope! (kiss on cheek) May you always weather each storm you confront with joy, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Corinne, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Corinne, your work always, always causes me not to read once, or twice, but at least three times, to fully accept the impact from your pen...

you just don't write enough!

Thank you kindly, sweet Noah! You always have such uplifting words!

Thank you for the wonderful compliment, Sunshine! Yes, I don't write enough. Life just doesn't give me much time these days and another writing project in the works!

Thanks again,

Corinne

Excellent, Corinne.
Brrrr, I'm shivering.

As we seek shelter
in a warm place
dry, except for
our moistened whispers

They say that all good things must end some day!  
Makes me wonder if the storm was but a passing fancy,
or perhaps giving way to better days ahead.  It's hard to say.
Sadly beautiful Corinne~
