The lock locked 🔒.

The tie straightened 👔.

The button buttoned.

The tear fell 😿.

The heart pumped 💗.

The pen signed 🔏.

The accepted challenge 📜 read,

If it would save someone’s life later, could you walk away indefinitely, so it would?

If you could, would you have the willpower to usher in its unplotted course?

EYHCS

Poet by birth. Writer by craft. Artist by nature. I write poems, prose, short stories, fiction, and realism works of art dissecting the human condition and the resilience of the human mind. Many of my pieces are metaphoric stanzas.
