Andrea, your ability to capture so much emotion with such beautiful visuals is indeed a gift. Thank you for sharing your gift with us-hugs-

Nor will they hear her weep...

Just beautiful

Another stunning piece by you, Andrea! Just beautiful!

You've always had a way with words and pulling people in with them. This is one I can truly say "I can relate"

I Love You!

Judging Comment:

This is nature at its best, tender and soft with a mother’s touch
and at the same time the sadness felt within each line lingers
long after. I like the visuals and the choice of words it make
this write so beautifully sad and moving.
