Enduring Is Hope

Winds like sheets of rusted lead oppress the air, leaving hope’s dread - - cold , alone I strut ahead, torments ensnare. And then a subtle shifting of time and space - like old wood drifting on swells of ocean lifting in life's embrace. Rune of chance washes ashore glinting on sand, never seen before - destinations to explore, fresh days now grand. Brian Strand's Contest Completely Your Choice (12) 9/19/2020
