Gossamer Drama

This life....
                                  It is but a gossamer drama
                                a transient moment snatched
                                          from Eternity
                                till twilight, brief and cheerless
                             claims our hearts and sets us free
                                        impatient for our 
                                          immortality...

Eileen Manassian May 6, 2017 at 2:34 PM What a beautiful piece, Sheila. Gossamer drama caught me up...and you took me to the finish well. Yes, some moments here, though, are so superb, they give us a taste of immortality. Thanks for your kindness to me of late. It has boosted my flagging spirits. Hugs
