Faded Images - Florette

Faded Image/Florette As old beauty fades, I crumble, cast aside – in mirrored stumble – broken doll, eyes closed, dreams crashing longing gaze of passion’s passing. Images - life’s sad display of final tumble. John G. Lawless contest – Reflection of a Florette sponsor - Nette Onclaud 9/1/2014
