No Matter
Shallow breaths of those who sleep bare no witness
of the soul it keeps.
Secrets kept of those who weep make no difference
to those that leap.
Silencing those who dare to peep have no bearing
on those who creep.

"Pandora's Box" by @aeschlin
"Hello, I'm Tink. I enjoyed the read. Thank you for sharing. The one place where I had pause was the use of the line "wondering at your face". In my mind wondering about your face would have made more sense. "at" throws…" -

About Me
About me
Just an old battleax crone wanna-be trying to find peace in the chaos.
Always flipping the hats, juggling life experiences, trying to make my way back to where my muse hides, taunting my return. Always searching for the words that escape me. Longing to be where my heart is truly content. Creating. Sharing. One letter at a time.
It's good to be back.
