Positively 'Dickensian,' Paige: 'The ghost of summer past' --- or should I say 'of summer last...'

"burning through a tulip's ghost." It sounds like you feel pain so deeply within. Such a powerful one liner, Paige. My best to you. Hugs, Brandy

This reads to me like the sadness of fall ending, very evocative with a tinge of mystery~

i'm with ink here - 'tulip's ghost,' there is a delicate power brought to life by the asymetry of these two statements, nicely said
