Nothing Lasts Forever

When distance circles the shoreline Painfully , a numb breeze decries How our lackluster glance mirrors Frail changing of hesitant eyes. Across night’s starkly blunt edges Fondness dangles like threadbare reeds; Knowing warmth is not forever When moonless summer’s rapture bleeds. ~ My spirit homeless now admits, This fleeting affair… love resists. 10 Lines, 5 Words: Rhyme II Sponsor: Laura Loo 1/17/2018
