O’ Silvery Ghost

O’ silvery ghost

Muted light bathes tear-stained cheeks

Shed for my lost love

I beg you–grant me mercy

As I mourn my selfish loss

I was not worthy

Offering only safety

While she offered love

Blame squarely sits upon me

As I fade into the night

      Thank you very much for the reblog and I apologize for the delay in acknowledging it. :)

        No problem, Dominic, you needn’t acknowledge but I am happy to say hello:) Hope Spring is getting closer to your place…I can’t believe I am wishing for rain to wash some of this snow away and off my car! Blessings, Oliana

        Spring has been here for a couple of months now. We have been in the 70’s and 80’s for the most part since late January, early February. Right now it is a beautiful sunny 75 degrees. Sorry to brag, but our weather has really been wonderful. It so nice to hear from you Oliana, I hope that all has been well with you and that you do get the rain that washes your snow away. :)

        Oh! I want your weather NOW…it has been a long winter and maybe with age and living alone, it seems longer than usual. I am well, Dominic, just anxious to get out for my long walks to take pics of life around me inthe city and make up stories to go with it:) I have not read many blogs this winter either…writing seems to be a needed therapy of late. Blessings xx

        This is the best time of year hear, it really is why we live here. I hope that your weather improves soon, being stuck indoors is just plain depressing. Keep writing and hope that spring arrives sooner rather than later. :)

        You can only hope, the one thing I don’t miss about winter is the snow. I grew up with it and now, since I have been out of it for a dozen years, don’t miss it one bit.

        Nope I do not miss it all…like I have mentioned in my Welcome page, I like snow up to December 26th and that is it.

        I couldn’t agree more. Its fine at Christmas, but other than that I can do without it. :)
