Does this picture, Image credits by ColinMaynard @ Unsplash, inspire you to write something?
with curious eyes I
observe my surroundings
wth my mouth I taste the
cohesion of the world
with your kindness my world
expands and enrichens
with every feature I’m
exposed to of this world
cradle me with treasures
always, the more I taste
the better I will bloom
but be mindful I need
no extravagances
ever, and best of all
expose me to your love

Thanks for reading dear friends. XO
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.
