BEYOND THE SHADOWS (in words and photo) — CPC “Pick-Apart Poetry”

      BEYOND THE SHADOWS   Fractured, uncharted, beyond the shadows of morning, time leaves me spent, worn, surrendering my distant past to eternity’s light, each breath fresh and new as we travel through time.   (c) barbara kausteklis 9-28-11   Written for CPC “Pick-Apart Poetry.”   http://www.friendburst.com/blog/65681/in-field-gray-featuring-valentine-smith-pick-apart-poetry-barbara-k-cherie/   Thanks always for your visits […]
