Voice of my Mother

Today it rained. Yesterday there were cloudy skies. By Tomorrow, neither will matter because love never dies. I shutter to think of the desolate nights and sorrows you left behind.

Image retried from GIF, 2021. I. Breath against my skin; watch me exhaling old love, inhaling pure love. II. Breezy are the miles- that crisscrossed our love for years; finally, we’re still. III.
