Looking out of the window at the infinite range of orange spread across the heavens; The Sun has lit the Western horizon, leaves once full of life now crippled, crumbling with disgrace, rolls across the green floor. A petite gust of wind brushes across the glasspane, the droplets of the recent rain sparkle in the… Continue reading An evening with Grief
