My Side of the Street

Crystal cloudy lessons of pathos. A dawning awareness in the gloaming. Valiantly, a melancholy soul goes on. Toward an unpredictable future. A frosted flake without a growl. Left to grieve forevermore. The shadows now have walked away. Looking for the sun in a sky of grey. For the Eight words contest. Aug 15, 2017
