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.
