It is so easy to let a promise slip between your lips, but its that much harder to stick to the promise on hand sometimes. thank you for reading, Silent One. I appreciate you

Sigh, so much has been expressed here within such few words.. Those promises which are held on the foundation of lies and deceit, can never flourish and bloom in flowers of hope.. They are the seeds which can't take firm roots.. This is one of the most impactful and gorgeously knitted monoku I've read.. Beautiful it is, dear Rose..

Thank you for leaving a comment dear poet Hiya, empty promises do more harm than we know. I always do my best to keep my promises
