Tone Poem Tuesday
I’m sure there will be something else on my mind eventually, but for now…no.

Hurricane’s End
It wasn’t to be, and today we had to let him go. I’d like to write more about him…but not now. Not today. Today is for coping with a silence that I knew one day would come, and yet shouldn’t … Continue reading
