Sands Posted on June 1, 2020June 1, 2020 by Reena Saxena life slips away like sand through my fingers in moments -treasured, feared -of despair I wonder what to let go what to pick up -put away for eternity -restore or repair Sky is eternity the framework against which -I build castles in the air #Quadrille #105: Cry Havoc and Let ‘SLIP’ the Dogs of War Share this: Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window) Email Share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window) WhatsApp TweetLike Loading...
