Silence

It was dawn before he realized That she was gone, he looked around There was no note, just silence Picked up his phone and called, There was no answer He looked outside... As silent Snowflakes Fell

I'm sure his eyes were misty, while he watched the snowflakes in silence. This is tender and emotional, all at the same time. Your thoughts caress gently around me and my heart. My best to you, Joseph. Hugs, Brandy

Joseph! I thoroughly appreciated your skillful use of words and forms. The vivid imagery employed, particularly in the concluding lines, evokes a powerful emotional response. A masterful writing truly captures a poignant and somber scene.

You’ve shown us a sad scene through this nonet, very clever and creative. I absolutely love the flow of this and i can only imagine how one might feel being “ ghosted” and left with nothing but silence. Pleasure reading your work always.
