First Desolation Then A Joyous return

Desolation/ A Tetractys

Stir,
wake.
Eyes blink
then focus
upon the new day,
yet no enthusiasm stirs
the blood in anticipation.
Naught to excite the
senses to
even
stir,
wake…

A joyous return/ A Triolet

At once I knew of her return
as stealthily she tiptoed in.
T’was then I felt my senses burn
at once I knew of her return.
A joyous moment to discern,
now my re-birthing could begin,
at once I knew of her return
as stealthily she tiptoed in.

I love both of these little gems, Val! That triolet is really something - so well crafted! I know I speak on behalf of the whole of ABC when I say welcome back, we missed you! ;)

And I can only echo Magic's sentiment and comment. It really is smashing to have you back and you have come back with a bang;-)

Thanks Tina, that's nice to hear. I hope it's not too premature though, I am still struggling to get into my stride. Val xx
