Charmed Chaos
Musings on Life, Love, and Linguine
Grey
Heartbroken, she now forever resigned
For alas her sorrow had come to stay
No bells were tolling, no telling signs
No hooting owl on that bitter cold day,
When a fragile heart stopped and the world went grey
She walks at night praying to see his face in the pale moon
And looks for his brilliant eyes in the tempestuous sea,
But he’s not there she’s bereft, for he left gone all too soon
And she, once vibrant is now cursed to forever be
A specter of a woman haunted, yearning to be free

It was a quiet, peaceful day. Susan had to work, but she brought turkey dinners home and we had dinner at our next door neighbors. 😌💛
