Empty now, like gutted shells minds and hearts,abstracted pieces, on winds of fate wishes blown to souls unknown. You've joined them in the flower fields where birds swoop down from time to time and feed upon their barren souls. Your tender words i drank below and seek a shred of resonance now, to know that through this passing season your sonnets spoke of love with reason. I shudder at your ugliness, for now i see you, unpretty as weeds without illusions. To affirm my faith and poetic visions I desperately needed to find you beautiful again. |

Nice write, especially like this "I shudder at your ugliness, for now i see you, unpretty as weeds without illusions." |

Michelle, I like this positive way of thinking. We really can find something beautiful in the ugly if we look hard enough...well, most of the ugly, anyway.  It's good to read you again, Lady. Hugs  Ethel |

Michele, thanks for offering a new look at weeds! good to read you again. I've always defended those lowly often misunderstood dandelions. They are actually beneficial. |

Very nicely done. I enjoyed your words and the wistful hoping they carry. It's alway nice to find the beauty as we would remember it to be. |
