She screams silently Looking in the mirror At the face so betrayed By time and life Old beyond her years Living beyond her means Once she was a beauty Until she looked up And realize the beauty was gone It had all been illusion And so, accepting She quitely went to her grave An old maid and alone We are all equal but we’re individually different |

"Until she looked up And realize the beauty was gone It had all been illusion And so, accepting She quitely went to her grave" How sad that her inner beauty was not revealed...outer beauty is just an illusion... great writing here, Ringo, I know about silent screams. ~K~ |

Ethyl- Thanks. Tima- Thanks for the kind words. Kahlil- Sometimes what's inside doesn't actually count. Thank You. Sue- Didn't expect it?? Maybe that's a good thing. Thanks so much. We are all equal but we’re individually different |

I couldn't resist the title of this... it's been my state of being since breaking a tooth at the start of a holiday weekend. *S* I really like the stark quality of this... we can hear the desperation though no sound was uttered. Great job! *S* |

OMG! That is so incredibly sad!--but you wrote of this poor woman's angst and sorrow very convincingly. I feel like crying! Love & Light, Linda |
