For My Forever Valentine: Laze On >>Through My Lenses. What Do You See Through Yours?<<

I was inspired to write a response to this lovely picture prompt, and I base it on the fact that my dear husband, my breadwinner, is close to ending his years of braving it out in society's wild land. Let me know what you think about what I see & how I used the prompt.

1-2-3-4-5-6-7– Spirited Away to Heaven Photo Challenge #418

Is Heaven a place, or an illusion? Up there? Or a mere figments of imagination? Fr. Sotti, the underdog in a few of my pieces, believes in heaven. What do you think?

Be Selective With Your Time Right Now #TankaTuesday #PhotoPrompt

A nonsense poem is what I was going for: something like Jabberwocky, you know. But this is what resulted. For sure, I'm no Lewis Carroll, or Mary Oliver. I'm just Selma and I don't need saving. *wink*
