When someone is dying and there is nothing you can do the next best thing you can so is make them as comfortable as possible

I'm sensitive like that Andrea...I don't like those kind of dreams, but I like this write.

It's like you can feel the heartbeat of the one who said this. You have invoked the spirit of the pair in the painting. Whether they are fleeing terror or not is part of the fun of interpretation. Fun write. Peace. :)

Wow! 777s Amazing that you focused on the detail that he let go of her hand. The terror is worse if you face it alone. Once again your words make me gasp in awe.

Separation in a time of fear would leave one feeling lost and that comes across clearly in your poem Andrea. Excellent blend with the painting!
