Bench Without a Rose

How stone-black is the park at will And frail is the twilight That glimmers across an uphill Yet teardrops roll, all decked in white. ~ Later, amidst the evening rain When hours drift in repose The pounding lash of time contains A bench without a rose. Contest , Brian's Select B

A sad one but so beautiful. Is it , by chance, for the song lyrics contest? I saw some wonderful repeating lines. btw , I never heard back from you on that soupmail you sent me. I did recheck your last contest and saw what you were talking about. It's no big deal. It honestly did not register with me what you were saying as I read your rules. I hope to hear back from you on that other topic you wrote me about because I am wondering myself what to do!!

I’ll come back to read more of your gems again soon. Hope you’re doin well. Biggest hugs & tcare! Love lots, Leonora
