Oh yes, PRIDE, the little word that has since the beginning of time has caused many a heartbreak. If only we could go back and undo that which we did and have a second chance sometimes to make all, right. Beautifully written.
Love & hugs to you and your's dear cuz.

Oh my goodness, Felix... THIS IS YOUR ABSOLUTE BEST, in my book and is like teardrops wrought in liquid gold. Perhaps it is the picture, which tears my heart. But this is one achingly crucible write and the mood and effect are awesome, to say nothing of the imagery. Pulsating in its pain. Be well and rise up, please... An Ode to Lady Ocean next... LOL Kate xx

The cost of chance taken can not be measured in this life time. You touched on a real important part of a relationship here. To agree to disagree. Pride is but a part of being human. Our souls carry our real worth. Good write. Lady J

The picture alone is enough to make me sad. You sure know how to communicate sadness and heartache.
Somehow, I am reminded of the song "Vic" sang in church this morning, "Take Me to the Cross." Some heartaches are so great that only Jesus can comfort the grieving one.

(((Fee))),

Much sadness in these lines, especially in,

"...The South wind brought her comfort
In the whisper of another's sigh. ...." The cost almost too much to bear.

Hope this is fiction, but have a feeling it's not...powerfully poignant writing here.

((((((HUGS)))))), love and prayer, Karla. :(
