I reach for her
Tho well I know
‘Tis but a shadow
I shall find,
I call her name
And hear awash
Its echoed sound
Implying limbo’s tide
Has carried it beyond…
In shades abutting dark
I barely see her face,
As I endure await
An end to limbo’s fate,
Thus beg that morrow
Finds an escape,
Where she may reach
The end of sorrow,
Beyond the dark of limbo!

Enjoy Your Thanksgiving! May your holiday be joyful and may happiness surround it, with good things on your table and those you love around it!
Thank you my friend… I will aim for the direction you suggest. A most worthy proposal indeed, and reciprocal one assuredly. Jean-Jacques
That’s a lovely wish “that finds her an escape.” Happy Thanksgiving. Giving thanks our paths have connected in this lovely cyber community.
