Knocking on the Dawn Anew
I have been in love before; After all at my age, who hasn’t? Some have entered like a storm, or had a particular appeal Still others ran their course, and that was the end of that I wasn’t prepared for the way my feelings for you Literally snuck up on me building an appreciable wall … Continue reading Knocking on the Dawn Anew

Love Awaits
How could she know that her journey of grief and acceptance would lead her to this place? Surely she never imagined during her battle with solitude that he was already on the other side. Waiting, surrendered; standing firmly in place. Love found her gazing at the stars wearing nothing but a coat and a smile … Continue reading Love Awaits
