Written for Sadje’s What Do You See Prompt:
For the visually challenged reader, this image shows a man of Asian descent staring
into the camera. He has a box/suitcase hoisted on his left shoulder and is wearing a
backpack too. There is an unreadable expression on his face. Behind him, you can
see other people with luggage too.
My take on what’s happening and what I see in this picture:
As long as I knew that she waited yearly trips to see her made me feel whole she was the North Star, my sweetest old dear the soft voice to give respite to my soul When she went in the other direction; hand-picked by God to the promised land it was then that I lost all connection— deprived of that vigor, I'm ill-beguiled © selma
Thanks so much for reading.
I’m a simple woman who dares to see the beauty in ordinary. I’d love to connect with you and like pen pals, I want something beautiful to blossom between us. Will you join me? Selma is my middle name. Its meaning—peaceful, complete, are euphoric affirmations I like to think of myself as having. They compliment the joy I feel when I write. I sincerely hope you decide to join me on my writing journey. I Wish You Miracles.
