When I judge you by first impressions,
I miss out on the myriad other facets
that make you so magnificently
who you really are.
Weekly photo challenge: Orange
Often alone, seldom lonely. My thoughts are with me wherever I go. They bring creativity, wonder, awe, memories and wisdom. And sometimes they bring pain, sorrow, guilt and fear. I accept them all, they are what they are. After all, one can't always be good company.
Photo #5 for Blogging U’s Photography 101 course. Subject: solitude.
I am cheered to see you again, though it was unexpected. I had thought the drawer to be empty, opening it simply on a whim. Recklessly abandoned inside this dark coffin, you nonetheless thrived, gaining esteem despite my neglect. Bold colors contrast with your diminutive size. A seeming contradiction between flamboyant style and menial purpose. I am not swayed by either extreme. My attraction is not based on appearances, and I recognize that your inconsequential demeanor belies your true power. More contradictions: You await my direction, to do my bidding, and yet it is you who holds sway over my very basic capacity to communicate. And though I value you, I must send you away. Your potential cannot be realized while stuffed in a drawer. So I'm letting you go with one selfish request: Please do not return to me, my “forever” postage stamp.
