Introduction, to an #introvert, is a lifeline in a society where knowledge of who far outstrips knowledge of what.
Take me to a person and strike up conversation or I am left hopeless and forgotten. I want to talk, but without your help I'm silent.

Simple joys #awake my soul.
Keep my heart afloat.
A swallows song,
The babes of spring
Whose winged mothers
Slave to bring
Them up to face the peril of the earth.
And bees who dance
From bloom to bloom
Tis nature makes life worth
Its tortured part.

@smcgillis248 Thank you

To #vanish into nothing,
To fade inside a wisp,
Escape into a dream world
Where pain does not exist.
To live, like you, beneath the earth
A corpse creating life,
From where I stand all I can do
Is drain the world of light.

@starfish_72 Thank you!

On a steed of dreams
I #gallivant the world.
Lying safe in bed
Adventure unfurled.
Imagination wanders
Exploring all the wonders
That I could never hope to see
In life
Tied down,
But free
To ride
My steed of dreams.

@Brennan_and_Riz Thank you Peter!

@starfish_72 A lovely story! Great write

[Sonnet Smith @Sonnetsmith_]

Life
And death
Harmonious circle of existence,
The eternal #duet
Of two opposing forces
At constant war
Frozen in peace

#Furtive glances shot across the room. A sly smile from him as she nervously bit on her bottom lip. A subtle not towards the bathroom from her. Neither of them noticed the knife in her husband's pocket.

Life.
Hideous #Draconian torture.
I don't want to be.

This morning my cat was hit by a car.
I was terrified. And appalled that someone would do that and not stop to see if she was okay, or find someone.
The vet says she should recover, but the fear of her not is still there.

[Sonnet Smith @Sonnetsmith_]

I didn't ask for you,
I needed you.
#Besotted from the start.
I didn't ask for you,
I lived with you.
You stole my beating heart.
I didn't ask for you
I cried for you
Nine lives reduced by one
I didn't ask for you
I was given you
But without you how could I go on?

@zoiya_morell It is impossible to create without being inspired by other people/sources.

They first came to me, young, breathless, #besotted. Every year they shared a picnic & poetry beneath my leaves, bringing children & grandchildren, dogs, friends. This year it was just him, he left her with me & I expect his ashes will join hers one day.🌳

[Sonnet Smith @Sonnetsmith_]

@Woodwomans I cried.
This is beautiful

@AuthorGFAllen I generally find paperbacks taste the best, and are a lot kinder on the stomach.
Hard backs are slightly more filling though.
