Each one of us knows it with some

certainty.

Love and longing aside,

it will happen.

Perhaps quietly, but sometimes with that violent

shattering, we will all fall.

Eclipsed by time.

About the Creator

Michèle Nardelli

I write...I suppose, because I always have. Once a journalist, then a PR writer, for the first time I am dabbling in the creative. Now at semi-retirement I am still deciding what might be next.

    This is great Michele! Loved the link to aging, and "sometimes with that violent shattering, we will all fall." is a wonderful line:)

    Very evocative, your writing moves me somehow and I can’t even quite explain why.
