Faced with the hardships of life, we must go on.
Many
Voices clamour
Until my head jangles
Like a badly tuned orchestra
Today
I saw
Once again men in black coats, move,
Stately, sombre, until
Life receded
Death reigned
Panic
Struck my raw heart
My soul taken up, black
Was this day, until red appeared
And then
I knew
That there is still life to be lived,
In the midst of which death
Interrupts, flows,
Calls us
Softly
Life caresses
My face, swollen, weeping,
Telling me that life will live on,
Because
That’s what
It does, and death cannot conquer
That which lives for ever
Beyond the veil
I like Lorraine’s work and follow her. Did you see she has complied a book? I have no idea how marketing works but she wants to get it available as a kindle download…

Same! No, not yet but I’m behind in my reading. I will go check it out and see if I can lend some advice. Thanks, Val!
