Winter beauty seen

Frost winds howling in the night

Their voices demand

Snow covered branches bending

To uncompromising winds

Releasing snowy star flakes.

Life and Death

***

Painting a picture of our journey

From love’s first sight to traveling

Along a highway of contentment,

The colors’ bright beginnings

Merge into muddied hues

As life and death happen, with

Finishing touches tinged in black and grey.

Abide with me, a popular hymn

Sung as a child with no unworthiness contemplated

Sure of comfort and protection from above, walking in the light.

True life experience, seeing unholiness surround,

Lack of love and kindness for each other

To truly abide seems lost.

The scenario was played out as if printed in a drama script. I knew, at least I thought I knew, what surrender to him would bestow on me, on my garbled mind, but I was obstinate thinking he wouldn’t physically harm me.

My last vision crumbled into greyness as the lighthouse grew ever distant.

It was obvious, no need to explain this scenario, however it is crucial to remember that all people have putrid days where everything goes wrong and it might help some to flush out their feelings in a laundromat. It was only a temporary moment of madness, no harm done.
