'Hope,' I told her

Abu Aeesh

“So what do you write about?” She asked

“Mostly? Hope. I write about hope,” I said.

“In other words, you write about things that haven't happened yet?”

I looked at her benign eyes and wonder when they'll hold me as I incurably fall into their depth day after day. And then I looked at the world around me and the thickness of colors the world is yet to know. Yet to breathe. 

“Yes,” I said “things that are yet to happen”

    Those things still to happen will be wonderful.

      Sure they will.

      firstly, your perfectly chosen picture immediately gifts the reader the perfect mindset to receive your flowing words on unrequited - but not yet surrendered tethers to yearned love, deceptively simple and yet relatable on so many levels,
      a wonderful read

      • Abu Aeesh

        Thank you. Really appreciate it πŸ™

        I adored this....... a whole lifetime in a few short lines......... (and just a note aside..... I read your name and said it aloud just to hear what it sounded like and it sounded like a poem - that is if I was saying it correctly). I hope you finish the story...........

        • Abu Aeesh

          Well thank you. I appreciate it. I'm sure you were saying it correctly. It's sort of a nickname meaning father of Aeesh (no I'm not married. Probably too young to have a daughter β€”and I'm just realizing this β€” that I'm too hopeful and so even my nickname screams. Anyways...) thanks. I hope I finish it too 😊

            Little Aeesh....... the world awaits her........

            • Abu Aeesh

              It's morning here in Nigeria and your message is among the first things I read. It made me want to be better for my little Aeesh. Thanks and do have a lovely day today

              • Lorna

                How exciting to hear from Nigeria ...... all that way! Lovely day to you too..........
