Katie this should be familiar to many, in that often we have a favorite mug, cup that is part of our ritual. So nicely described this poem tells its tale in most poetic form. Could this be a metaphor as well of a person that we hold dear?

When Sorrow Comes to Call
Paul Bell said:
It is strange watching time ravage the frail.
In a way, you want their life to end with dignity, but most times it doesn\'t.
You can see why even after death, people feel raw.

Agree with Soren, this can be taken both literally or metaphorically. This is a very well-written poem that imbues your love of the beauty of the natural world to a deeper, more contemplative journey through the seasons of one\'s own life. Very well done, my friend! πΉπ€ππ―οΈπ¦ββ¬

Katie the obligations of possessions, whether tangible or emotional, leave us encumbered. I never felt freer that when I got rid of things. Those possessions weigh us down and chain us to a ground that is not ours, filling space in our mind that better things could occupy. No space for love, peace and dreams. A wonderful poem and a fave
