A lovely & personal-feeling free-roaming piece, like two fraternal twin poems, side by side, with the story leaping from one side to the other; nice effect. Your slice of hope & maturation at the close was welcome news.
It’s interesting to look back on our earlier selves and see how far we’ve advanced through the times. I love your insight here and that you’ve found home. That’s what we all dream of.
It reads as if it’s freely and easily written – a story you know well, even if it isn’t free verse. A narrative that begs one to imagine the reality. Well done.
Hi there dear Sanaa, what a delight… So delicate and tender – a very unassuming but accurate reflection of your beautiful soul – what lovely soulful picture too… brightened up my winter’s evening back here in the UK. With Love & Light Scottie x
She has indeed found her own way – and i actually think (looking at the old and new photos of you – always beautiful) she may be even happier and sunnier because of that
Very often the journey itself is the destination and acceptance of self the “home” we seek. And, most often, that occurs when we find our individual creative energies.
