This silent life In quietude In solitude Not sought The years of writing on a notepad While pencils scratch and eyes plead To have patience This quiet life No interlude One certitude I fought With all those words that fly around In full colour That fly and smile That paint and speak And sing This silent life In quietude In solitude Not sought Perhaps it would suffice to know I fought *** 2nd place in contest: Sadness Judged February 11, 2017 Sponsor: Silent One January 10, 2016

Oh, boy can I wrap my entirety around these words and the words around my very identity that lives in constant hope it holds meaning that I did walk into all my deep frays and fought. (run on sentence, surely) We have snuggled on yet another winner's list, and it is once again a warm and contented place to be, Darren. Congratulations. I behold your light and send love ... CayCay

We do, don't we? Let's hold hands for the next contest ;) Yes, I know about you and solitude, quietude. We'll find each other there again my friend, when the world calms down around us.
