See Synonyms at sad. sor  row·ful·ly adv. tale of the final days of a family in physical and spiritual
decay. Individually and collectively brought to the depths of the
despair, each family member speaks out and seeks to reconcile the cruel
vagaries of life that have carried them to this point. A mystic element
transcending the borders of life and death offers faint solace in this
emotional portrayal of the connections between human beings and the
essence of the soul. "In a rain of sun showering shadows across
earth, / my steps proceed in effortless ef·fort·less adj. Calling for, requiring, or showing little or no effort. See Synonyms at easy. ef fort·less·ly adv. wind along its edge, / the
purity of its presence framing this space / around my soul dusting faded
stars, / metaphors retrieved, one foot beyond the other, / the
enfant-exuberant remembering their eternal presence."
