She experienced life
in her own way

The way a woman will.

At times she loved a man.
At times she was alone.

Collecting Memories,

Like shells on a beach
Or stored in jars,

Beside the mirror
In her bathroom.

Water, always the way,
In which her life flowed.

And now, she returned
To the memory of a well,

Into which she once
Cast her wishes.

Like the one about that boy.

The one.. 

That never came true.

Well wishes perhaps…perhaps the longings lived in different times. Really enjoyed this, Vernin!

A lovely, rather ethereal piece, Vernon. Love the illustration, too.
