Written for Quadrille #50 at dVerse where the word is: “murmur”.
Now
Words graft to wind
murmuring realities
she’d rather ignore
as she’s done before.
Insistence drives the breeze,
her life’s mosaic a tapestry
of shoulds but didn’ts
reasoned away with frayed
logic, she accepts. Skeletal limbs
sway, knobby wood fingers point
time to be brave.

This ia wonderful – such a pleasure to read
thank you so much, Deb!
“time to be brave” — I love the gentle murmur of this. And that choice of the word “graft.”
Thank you so much! 🙂
I like the use of tapestry: “a tapestry
of shoulds but didn’ts”
Thank you, Frank! 🙂
“Shoulds/didn’ts”…. oh my. But…time to be brave. It is never too late. Nice one Sascha!
As long as one can breathe there is still time to be brave!
Thanks, Anne! 🙂
“her life’s mosaic a tapestry of shoulds but didn’ts
reasoned away with frayed logic, she accepts”… You have a lovely way with words!💖
Thank you so much. I appreciate your saying that. 🙂
Interesting parallel with the words “frayed logic” and “be brave.” It suggests, to be brave despite this logic, and anyways. Great quadrille 🙂
Thanks, Mandi. I think sometimes logic thinks we should walk away when maybe we should offer another consideration.
