Forty-four words…

for Sammi’s Weekend Writing Prompt where we are challenged to write 44 words about Twilight.

Her eyes

a mist of grey

like twilight,

that sparkle, gone.

.

I ask why,

she hears me not.

 

I will wait

as long as it takes

for her return.

.

But for now

she’s in a place of her own.

.

Somewhere.

.

I know not where.

    Oh how poignant and wistful and heart-touching (using all of the above in one)

      Not my usual style which makes your lovely comment even more special.

    So sad, whether due to age or other reasons, when the mind has left to wander and even love cannot follow.

    Beautifully written. I especially like the eye. Did you draw it?
