You set me uneasy To be troubled No expository of straight forward facts But gentleness, as if kissed by the breeze I cannot avoid a breeze One by one, pieces of me escape To become your wishes And I am left As a black heart

Some beautifully crafted lines here Dilly, so much said in a short verse, no need to say any more, you appear to have captured the essence of life’s ephemerality, cheers David

Thanks David, I've been spotting so much ephemera on my travels. I photographed it with intent to turn it into a poem. Perhaps I'll turn it into a contest :)
