Separation

SEPARATION The closeness we once had was a light shining in the dark. Storm clouds came and shielded the sun. The seeds atrophied and the sprouts withered. What was once a rainbow became a black and white single brush stroke against a pale sky. CAK 9-2013

Thank you, Eve. Written a while ago but seems to still be applicable.

I hear you talking, Allen. When the black and white moves into the act everything changes and things don's always mean what they used to.

Allan i notice the difference when i saw your name and his philosophy on reincarnation. Yes i studied world religion. And i think that i have a handle on your religion more than i do his.

Stunning write! Masterful way of taking an abstract feeling and describing it with concrete images.

"Storm clouds came and shielded the sun's growth"...that line says so much. Awesome expression of love's separation.
