So beautiful. This was the first theme I thought of but I decided to go with something lighter. I couldn’t have portrayed it as eloquently as you. Fantastic job.

Indeed we could all be better if only someone dared …. but sometimes we also have to be brave to take their hands.

That was beautiful. I rarely write poetry and yet my first thoughts were to write a poem when I saw the photo prompt this week. (I opted for the safety of fiction). I’m glad you chose to use your obvious talents as a poet. It really is a remarkable piece. To say “Well done” doesn’t even begin to cover my appreciation.

There is a scene in 2005. Pride and Prejudice, where Elizabeth Bennet stands on a cliff, watching the world enfolding before her, accompanied by this beautiful music. I always felt a special connection with that scene, where you stand alone on the edge and the slightest gush of wind can make you fly or fall. And you are strong and defiant, you will not falter…but you would give anything if someone just stood by you and held your hand.
