No Word Comes Near Enough
The English language has its limits. I learned this when I became a student of the Bible and looked up the Greek and Hebrew definitions behind the Scriptures I loved. Some languages have so much more depth and power than the one I use to convey my thoughts. But, even so, I don't think any word could ever come close to describing this void and pain I am journeying through. I don't know how to swim through its murky waters.

Winterthorne
Winterthorne stood alone at the edge of the park. The beautiful snow that had surrounded him was all trampled now, from the feet of all of the children who had built him. He missed the sparkly clean snow blanket, but he was happy that so many children had come out to make him.

I agree with Matthew, points for using traipsing. Nicely done, Lamar.

This is one to be remembered unless one has a bit too much. Good job.
Geez. Thoughts of Orion for the new year. This is lovely.

Well, at least it’s something different than thinking about the Roman Empire all the time. Great haiku, Lamar!
