Taking On the World

Posted on January 25, 2023 by Penny Wilson Writes


 
I can't unlove
the most vital
role in my life

This life 
would have been
lost
without you 

Letting you go 
left me 
spiritless

When I dream 
I still see
you and I

taking on this 
world
together

In my next life 
I pray we find 
each other

    I follow hundreds of blogs. More than I can possibly keep up with. I decided that I can only follow more new blogs if I feel that something that I read on their blog strikes me as extraordinary with subject matter that I want to follow. Sorry.

Penny, this speaks to many relationships. At first I thought romance, but it could reference any lost love. Beautiful.

So well done, Penny. There’s heartbreak but also romance. This one speaks to me of two souls as one.
