It seems I’ve fallen into
Someone else’s dream
Of nature’s glory
With blooming flora to cushion my steps
Where I can sleep
Under bright blue skies
and the shade of verdant palm trees
with a hint of sunshine peeking through
They’ve even dreamt soft clouds
Where I can pillow my weary body
And dream of peace
And serenity
But I want to embrace the storms of life
Endure the sharp stings of adversity
Survive intact while walking over the coals
Be strengthened by what I overcome
Truly amazing to see how many different directions one image can take such a diverse pool of writers, but like you the image presented a picture of such perfection it couldn’t be a part of my reality. I took a more comedic bent with it, but ultimately we agree that it’s impossible to inhabit such perfection. Well done!
