Challenge of the Week LXXXI
"I write so that I might understand what I think" - various authors. Choose a topic about which you're not quite sure what you think. Perhaps it's something you've been thinking a lot about, or something you wish you understood better. Then write. Write until you uncover a pearl of lucidity.
Goodbye, Rose
Tears shed, words unsaid
Mournful now, regretful later
Fear silenced words of love
A limp wave, a small smile
Watching as he goes
So many things left to be forgotton
Laughter, dancing, grins
Joyous moments now gone
Has earth no pity?
Laughter like wind chimes
Eyes like bluebells
"Goodbye, Rose."
"Till again we meet."
Fear raises his voice
And wonderings arise
Will we meet again?
Good things rarely stay
Oh, bliss of days past!
Forgotton dreams, desolate summers
Words left unsaid
To remain hauntingly evermore.
