The Broken Heart
People suffer the heartbreak of parting from their loved ones because their love is personal. Although everyone has a knowledge that such love is transient in the vast cyclic movement of life and death, this fact of existence is gen
THE EMPTY NEST
My nest is as it should be now, empty.
Tidy, ordered, calm.
My babies have grown, beautifully, and flown.
