Duration


My writing always begins with

***

a pause

an exhalation

a hesitation.

It's the electric gap

between cloud and raindrop,

the space created

when the autumn leaf

slips from the limb,

the lie of possibility

before I choose

my first word.

That's lovely, sylvia. Thanks for sharing your poetry.Smile

Few things reveal your intellect and your generosity of spirit—the parallel powers of your heart and mind—better than how you give feedback.~Maria Popova
