Existence

Posted on by Penny Wilson Writes 

Mere existence
pales 
the eyes

weeping their color
onto 
worn steps

Recoiling from
breath
to diminish
subsistence 

Existence 
has become 

trivial 
parody

I've been plucking at for weeks. It finally feels 
complete. A bit dark, but I hope you like my creative attempt.

  2. Sadly it certainly has. Not sure if you meant this but your words hold such resonance with everything happening right now. To me, your words signify how so many in society see everyone other than themselves…as trivial.. Its a very sad state of affairs.

    Bravo, Penny… well well done 🙂
