As a white candle In a holy place,
#
#
#
So is the beauty Of an aged face.
#
#
#
As the spent radiance Of the winter sun,
#
#
#
So is a woman With her travail done.
#
#
#
Her brood gone from her,
#
#
#
And her thoughts as still As the waters Under a ruined mill.

On Winning and Losing
Recently, the pleasant surprise of placement on the Vocal Bonus Leaderboard sent me down a rabbit hole. Now, rabbit holes are a pretty common place for me to spend time, but I don't always feel the call to write about them. To be honest, the thought of sharing some of them mortifies me.
