Death

Death

Death stalks from within
lurks in the wake of sickness
lingers in shadows

Not as easy as it seem

Smiles:) Barbara thanks Janice for sharing and commenting it is always appreciates. true it is not easy as I write on the spur as when the moment hits. my father inlaw cousin, grew up like a sister, died and we buried her yesterday. so when the moments hit I jot and start to write, then edit for a few days. been writing a lot lately.

Wow! am I ...

impressed by this one. My second reading gave me chills. As it should have. How real, how simple, how honest ... how blunt! Thanx, Chuck PS: Not to mention powerful.
