When You Can't Help

Tears fall, silent rain,
Heart aches to heal unseen wounds.
Hands reach, touch the void,
In the dance of shadowed dreams,
Love whispers, yet remains bound.

Dear Don, the sad beauty of your imagery is deeply moving. A potent poignant piece of love and pain.. “hands reach, touch the void” - so evocative! Soulful splendor. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan

Hi Susan, thank you. It's hard, if not impossible, to help someone who cannot help themselves. Best wishes, Don
