Rachel I was in such a bubbly, giggly mood. But then I decided, "I'll read and review her stories and things!" What happens? I get sad.

I heart it though. Especially "Your eyesight and your hope/Together start to dim" and "And with your final intake of breath,/You close your eyes and pretend."

Le sigh.

good work here. i love the fact that it rhymes. my favourite stanza is the first..the lonely birds thing was really wistful. and true. keep writing D

Very powerful! I love the idea of it...and it's a pretty good reminder too.
