Dew Delight?
Dew doesn’t delight me now. Morning walks sound lusterless without you, yet I plod on the old, preferred path, knowing there can be no new beginnings. Cloudy skies, autumn hues and vermilion sunsets may brighten my day for a moment, but I live in the shadows. White drapes dance around me every morning. They fail to stir a comatose mourner.
Mourning never ends
change in seasons reinforce
the grim reminder:
darkening days is your fate
loneliness – your only friend.

Thank you for your kind words, David.
In my world, grief can coexist with a neverending wonder at the natural world. It is this world that has saved me, again and again. 💗
So true, Bela. Mother Nature is constantly offering comfort to me.
As I know and trust She will. Blessings, dear one.
Thank you! 🤗
