…

Write me a letter, my love,
and fold it into a crane;
send it with the breeze
and whisper my name
so that it may find me—
beyond the realms
where mortals speak,
behind a curtain of stars,
to my door in the sky.

Colours of Hope: My Entry for KL Caley’s #WritePhoto Challenge: HORIZON

Posted on by SidneyAspennWrites

Hello hello! Remember me? I’m finally back with an entry at the close of 2022, and hope to post more often in the coming new year.

Horizon by KL Caley

For visually challenged writers, the image shows water with the occasional island just out of focus. The horizon is a golden colour.

  • Each Thursday at Noon GMT the #writephoto prompt will be posted on New2Writing.

  • Link back to this post with a pingback and/or leave a link in the comments below, to be included in the round-up.
  • Please click their links to visit the blogs of other contributors and take time to read and comment on their work.

  • There is no word limit and no style requirements, except that your post must take inspiration from the image and/or the prompt word given in the title of this post.
  • Feel free to use #writephoto logo or include the prompt photo in your post if you wish, or you may replace it with one of your own to illustrate your work.
  • By participating in the #writephoto challenge, please be aware that your post may be featured as a reblog on this blog and I will link to your post for the round-up each week.

Before my eyes sits a canvas
of Prussian blue:

It laps at my feet,
cold, calming.
Over my head, it fades
into lavender wisps,
it trickles
into a rosy stream,
then bursts
into fantastic gold.

A faraway land twinkles in its glow,
looking at me from across the waves.
Will you swallow all of my sorrows?
Will you hide me in your embrace?
Will you give me a new home, a new face?

The wind beckons me over.
I go.

As the heavens rain down today,
upon the parched, dusty earth, 
my eyes search the laden clouds
for a sliver of hope,
an image of you.

Look! Do you see these stones?
I set them in the ground for you,
in the same field we spent hours 
frolicking, stargazing.

Tell me, do you see them?
(Please tell me you see them)
Then follow these stones, 
I pray, my love—
follow them back home.
