Red umbrella

Caring dove

Red umbrella 

sits in the outside 

on a puddle 

feeling the rain 

feeling the blues yet maybe there’s a need for green grass below her feet 

sunlight and rainbows 

 

there to feel the rain 

yet maybe she doesn’t just want to be there for someone 

so they can take her out in the rain 

maybe umbrella wishes to just be taken out in the soft sunlight 

without the rain falling

    I take this for a metaphor for a person exposed to the storms of life that wishes no longer to be the shelter for others but to be taken in themselves out of the storm. Very nice

      Thankyou ))

      yeah , I guess it could be viewed that way . An umbrella is often just there for others and may well get fed up of being out in the rain , or even stuck in the four walls ..
      Yeah and I guess rain could sometimes be thought of as sadness ‘ falling . Or our emotions …
      I like writing to pictures , they make me think

      Thankyou very much )

          Beautiful imagery of longing and self-discovery—sometimes even umbrellas crave the sun. A poignant reminder that we all yearn for moments of lightness beyond our expected roles.
