1. This is a beautiful sequence, Balroop. I feel your words, and the last line: “desolation sores” is very poignant. It makes me think of the line: “The winter of my discontent…” ❤️

   1. Thank you Colleen.

2. Beautiful lines and the photo is perfect.

3. Winter can be achingly beautiful but also gray and drab which can inhibit the soul. But spring blooms afterward, and I pray you will feel that same warm awakening in you heart given time, Balroop.

   Your poetry is so raw, yet woven with ribbons of beauty at the same time. You paint emotions and a visual tapestry with your words.

16. As a reader, I want to wrap my hands around your heart like woolen protection to keep it beating through the cold winter of grief. Your words are beautiful because your relationship was beautiful and your loss is jagged like an ice sword.

    1. Thank you so much for your warm words of solace, Marsha. Very few people understand the depth of emotions. I love your metaphor of ice sword.

       1. None of us can know the depth of someone else’s emotions, but I lost my first husband when he was almost 48. He had been sick a long time, so life had been hard for most of our 20 years together. But marriage entwines lives like nothing else. You are so young, and my heart goes out to you.

       2. Thanks for understanding Marsha. I am sorry you have been through this darker phase of life and emerged out of it. 🤗

       3. Our stories are very different, but the loss was much harder than I expected even when i knew for years that it would happen.

       4. And I am still in shock, as the monster of death struck suddenly and unexpected.

       5. My heart goes out to you, Balroop. 😍

       6. 🙏

    1. Thank you for sharing your kind words David, much appreciated.

25. Wonderful post 🌹

26. Wonderful poem which encapsulates the feelings of winter so well. ‘a colorless life’ I think winter feels like that quite a bit, especially when it’s really cold and there is a lack of motivation. Perfect photo to go with your words too. I hope Spring is just around the corner for you, and may you feel warm sunshine more often. Hope you are doing well, Balroop 😊❤
