Hardened

Wind weathered dream severed eyes hollow stare blankly out rough seas washed away hopes hardened hearts die fragile souls cry hastily built walls stones tumble broken in a blackened sky masses filter the catacombs steeple's raise notice dropping down suddenly

Oh Tim. Hello. How very true. Anyone who has experienced hardship darkness loss sadness stress a broken heart or fractured soul knows your every word and thought. Your words are true and so captures the entire meaning of hardened. Because one does become just that. You wrote it with perfection in my opinion. I hope everything is ok. Have a great night. Well expressed entirely and completely.

I see a ruined castle in England under a gray sky.

A hardened heart is a pitiable thing. I know this is not about you personally, Tim because you're far too kind and filled with emotions. Your images were well chosen.
