When is on(e) one’s sole design
When is on(e) one’s sole design when others leave the field what entices them to leave when sunshine stands to yield Could it be less than life itself could it be more than sure what comes of thee when running blind what lends one to want more Bring the budding (flow)er seen to bloom in […]
epithet
A darker scene one cannot bear A lighter mood in time A willow lends its leaves to thee To prosper life divine A brooder cannot bear to see A smile’s eyes conspire A window opens unto me To lift one from the mire A thunderstorm breaks cloudy sky The sunshine’s heat collects One door closed […]
