The drifting of my thoughts
Far and away
Begin and end with you
i cried the way women on tv do
folding at the middle
like a five pound note.
i called the boy who use to love me
tried to ‘okay’ my voice
i said hello
he said warsan, what’s wrong, what’s happened?
and these are what my prayers look like;
dear god
i come from two countries
one is thirsty
the other is on fire
both need water.
i held an atlas in my lap
ran my fingers across the whole world
and whispered,
"where does it hurt?"
it answered,
"everywhere"
"everywhere"
They certainly are beautiful, and seemingly delicate. Yet I suspect that long after we are gone, they will be putting on their show right on time. Again and again.

Thank you so much! They are but delicate little blossoms. The show must go on. Yes! Just like tree falling in the forest, right.
I hope all is going well with you! Stay safe and I already know you are practicing proper social distancing!

Me too! :) They make me deliriously happy! There is no accounting for that one. :) Especially in the spring, where the excitement permeates the air.

Oh, I certainly hope so. Just close your eyes and give in to the beauty of the moment. I have to keep it calm or otherwise, life would be too much right now. I hope that you can meditate and keep it calm. xoxo
Stay well and know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

I am more close to turning it upside down, because the snow is falling, where I live (in Hungary). It is spring, but reminds me of winter. According to the weather forecasts, the weather will be cloudy tomorrow (on Tuesday), and there will be snowy rain on Wednesday, but then the weather will get warmer.

Ohhh! Well, you totally win in my book!! Rain AND snow. I think it doesn't get any better than that! In the blink of your eye, the snow will cease and the spring will litter your world. :)
I hope you are doing well and that you are practicing proper social distancing! Be well!

Such a lovely post. I've spent some time in DC on my travel bike, but never in this season. I'd LOVE to see all the blooms, It must smell like perfume everywhere. Whoever planted all of those (G.W.?), really knew what they were doing.
I hope this comment, way overdue, finds you healthy and happy and staying out of the germy fray. As you always espouse, look for the bright side. This stay at home thing means more writing, commenting (finally, a bit, after knee surgery kept me from the computer), and some serious TV movie watching while snacking. Ah, life just doesn't get much better than that. Gotta find them silver linings in the clouds no matter how hard you have to look.
Well, stay safe and healthy and keep on taking great photos of the lovelies of the world. Cheerio(s) on a Wednesday in March
