There are days in our lives when it is not sunny and gloom descends on us, difficult
days which are dotted with pain.

Writing for sure, brings some cheer even on the darkest days.
deep inside you no more war
the child’s eyes green beyond the barbed wire

on a dry lake
washed ashore
in the shallow of a shell
ancient whispers
Revised:
