At Poets and Storytellers United's Weekly Scribblings #45 Magaly invites us to be inspired by one or more of these three pictures:
"Beautiful YOU are" by Magic Love Crow
(I chose them all.)
This Moment Pictured
The great bird is soaring
in blazing splendour,
lifting our gaze away
from the small donkey
left standing exposed –
which once looked so cute,
with the crown on his head
and the cross displayed on
his proud brow, but now
seems only foolish.
And we do gaze,
with eyes that have seen
much trouble, but
are wide open because of
all we could not
go on looking away from.
We open our hearts –
revived, hopeful, triumphant –
and hold them high
like flags.
