- A Yearning Inside Her -

  ~ An age of artificial love...has no deep feelings ~ Quote by poet


  She sees the shadow of herself, aura of indigo
  Lick honey from life's thorns, no knight in shining armor
  Why her over someone else, why should her heart be an exception?
  Grieving a lost dream of the prince on the white horse

  Her heart yearns for touch, smiles and love
  where everything in life feels wonderful and magical
  She felt numb and that life was pointless
  without someone to share it with 

  The full moon with a white-golden hue appears up
  She leaves the door ajar so the cat can enter
  – the unconditional love of a pet is priceless

Duke Beaufort April 19, 2025 at 12:14 PM Anne-Lise, this is interesting and points out some of the toughness of aging without one's partner. I've known some people who have done very well and some who haven't. It's hard to know which we'll be. Smiles!!

Paula Goldsmith April 19, 2025 at 10:40 AM Back with Congratulations on your win. I loved reading your lovely write again. I love your fun picture. Happy Easter... Have a blessed day with your win................

Jennifer Proxenos April 18, 2025 at 9:30 AM This old lady sounds a little sad and very lonely, yearning for love in her life - you have explained this story with so much compassion my friend, so well written - Congrats on your win and yes a pet always loves his or her human parent unconditionally. Blessings, Jennifer.

Margaret Foster April 18, 2025 at 4:04 AM Superbly written. Anne Lise. A real depth of feeling. Congratulations

Joseph P. DiMino April 17, 2025 at 9:40 AM Yes, our little friends can be of great comfort. I have a loyal Ginger that snuggles at my side evenings. No knight in shinning armor, probably less to do with love, and more to de with cost of a horses and feed. Priorities are often confounded by circumstances...and the heart is first to suffer. A sad reality. Congratulations on win!
