Passing of a Season
For Poppy's Prompt #7 (No. 2)
Note - Here is a link for Poppy's Challenge this month. This is the second of what I hope will be a few entries:
They say that you can feel it pass;
the silent chord falls,
like newspapers we have just
forgotten.
*
They think that these moments,
certain movements in parallel
like time, will remain; not to be
beholden.
*
They see that this world changes;
a final drawing down of the time,
and something remains
unspoken.
*
Thank you for reading!

*** I'm keen to republish the interviews I did for my series with Vocal creators. It's been a few years and I thought it might be nice to revisit these wonderful conversations. I'll be releasing them one at a time for a few weeks/months.

Excellent as always - your works always settle in my chest and stay there for a while!
