Silence

She wrapped her gift
  of outstretched arms
In passionate embrace
  of myriad charms.

He turned away
  He spurned her prayer
Love unraveled--
  Dread silence shared.

What I like about your writings is how multi-faceted they are - you have this tender heartfelt side that is very touching - I will have to make this one a FAV - take care, gw

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Michelle! Your kind words have lifted my spirits on a snowy Chicago Spring day, the 99th of January, 2018. I really appreciate all of your encouragement and support. Blessings, Gershon
