When the Sparkle Has Gone

New corners of life are joy to behold Grasping with both hands like never before Building anew as anyone's future moulds Ridding the past and previous life's sores When new corners of life were a joy to behold Diminishing day by day, a shadow of thriving Foundations that should bloom now to be cold To wonder the next morn as to what's arriving For any new corners of life that anyone awaits Is it to be a door where their lost souls belong Or is it now inevitable, fates closed the gate When the sparkle has gone.

James this hits home when you think pf the past and how good it was now we are wondering what the future holds. It is scary to say the least. I am glad your posting. I just got back myself. Hope you are well.

this one hits home James as my friend's son is going through a relationship breakdown at the moment, I think many couples are struggling with not being able to have a break/me time during lock down and tensions are rising. love to you Eloise and Jamie:-) hugs Jan x

Thanks for dropping by Jan. Indeed, so many people are having problems, and 'Corona Chaos' has a lot to answer for - hugs back from us three xxx
