Last Sunday.

Posted on January 7, 2020 by chefswifediary

Sunny sky as soon as nine. Without alarm eyes opened wide. Reflecting what’s left to realise. Didn’t take long to heighten the mind.   List is long out of aspirations.

Sun rises, on peaceful sky. Butterfly flutters, on blossoming flowers.   Perfect colours, perfect setting. Perfect articulation, for a stunning piece.   New year, new beginning. Any challenges, don’t matter. Put strengths together and overcome with pride. Photo by Sarah Cervantes
