Weekends at cottage
we’d linger over coffee,
dew sparkling on primroses
How we’d race to the lake
laughter emerging
from cool depth
Flowers scowl now
Lake’s chill hardened
Do you wait for me
in the eternal darkness?

Who fell into the ice and drowned? đ

Both the words and image in this post evoke isolation, loneliness and sadness. You paint wonderful pictures with your worlds.
