Since you turned your back and strode away
Life has changed from gay to gray

Thank You1!
Thank You for Your entry: Barefoot Barely Breathing
This piece tugged hard at Spirit and while I was reading which I do several times~ Images come to me in many forms~ while taking in Your words: Sinced you turned your back- Now for some reason when I read the first few lines- I kept this image of a Toyota 4 Runner- given those words also reference to gas guzzler- and seeing a male wearing a cowboy hat- reference to 1950's- and may sound strange but phrase: first kiss- also reference to overlooking the stars- phrase: the heavens bore witness- then seeing a star fall
Whether metaphor or symbolism
Hopefully this makes some sense~
Excellent take on the prompt ~
Magnificent images & message You have brought forth

Thank You for sharing Your Talent also Spirit!
Best wishes to You in the contest Sweet Soul
**Judging will be done shortly...
Many blessings too
and much love & light~ Desire~*~
