Making Rainbows Blindly

Neville

Making Rainbows Blindly

 

From the darkness of yet another hotel room

he watched her

as she scattered orange peel, amethysts and

pomegranate seeds

in the wake behind her in the street ..

Just maybe

he thought, before jumping, she might be

making rainbows

and so, instead, he chose to follow blindly ..

    The act of choosing hopefully meant he saw the options available to him. Where some see rainbows and fabled crock of gold others see talons and deep scars.

    Another Nevillesque piece to put the mind into a state of quandary.

                Sounds to me like the start of what is to be a happy ending, or a very sad one. There's no telling I guess. Very well executed Paul. Ta.

                • Neville



                  on behalf of Paul, I thank you ................... Neville 🙂

                  • Garth Rakumakoe
