Cutting. Simplicity is the art of powerful writing. Well scripted. Lurking under your fine prose is the contradiction of life’s beauty. We are in awe of the majesty of the ocean yet it harbors a power to drown us. Like the Lilly of the Valley so delicate and yet toxic. So too, age, carrying a bounty of respect and admiration, can wither on the vine.
And yet your verse is oddly mesmerizing and carries no hint of harm yet for me guilt lingers to the final letter.
Subtle yet forceful. True quality. Thank you
