Retrospective

our words
evaporate
upon the wind-
unremembered by thee
and me-
letters
languish in
drawers..forgotten-
art ,pictured diurnal..
we see

Such a beautiful and yes, sad write. We can only hope it is not completely true. Love, Shar

Brian, this lyric is absolutely beautiful to read. Its flow is lsoft and sweet. Though sad "pictured diurnal" is a lovely phrase. Love, Robin

Oh no, this breaks my heart. You have put the very act of my heart within a dusty forgotten drawer. Your breaking my heart Brian! lol This is so sad, but very real, we can only hope our words live on somehow...love, Kristin
