The Journey Back

______________________________

I struggle with deep melancholy thoughts that attack, for my past is always waiting, mumbling and muttering; and I am on a journey that takes me back, back, back ... to times of grief and the tattered pages of my life are fluttering ! ____________________ August 5, 2021 Poetry/Quatrain/The Journey Back Copyright Protected, ID 08-1378-984-05 All Rights Reserved, 2021, Constance La France Written for the Premier contest, Your Best Quatrain sponsor, L MILTON HANKINS, Judged 08/14/2021 Eighth Place
