 Stark insignificance clasps with icy tendrils choking expectancy as a once lush oasis withers fading from view - just a mirage after all. |

What we think we're seeing is indeed a stark contrast! You describe the feeling that fades perfectly!!! |

Maree, thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. I got the picture from Ron's greeting card collection. He's got some really good ones there. Ethel, thanks so much! Noah, thanks for your always sweet comments! Maureen, good one! Thanks for the chuckles and thanks for reading & commenting! Nancy, thanks so much for your lovely reply! Vandana, I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thanks! Martie, thank you! I'm always glad when you enjoy my attempts at free verse! Scorpio, thanks! I guess this could apply to most anything in life. In my case, I think I was having a bad case of empty nest syndrome. The phrase seemed to capture how I was feeling. Chris, thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it! Passing Shadows, thanks for reading and commenting! It's so hard sometimes facing the hard, cold reality. Elizabeth, thanks for that reminder! Yes, it always does seem to survive somehow bringing a fresh perspective on things. |
