3 word wednesday : blurred, illegal, match…

by Caroline on May 28, 2008

Displaced


The edges of the picture seemed blurred

a yellow hue stained throughout

- that was how I remembered it, at least.

A match made in heaven I had thought at the time.

How incredibly naïve of me,

how idealistic and twisted, my young mind.

Tainted by life,

I now realize

my heart was always a prisoner

and I, an illegal immigrant

fleeing a burning land.

How very beautiful.
You continue to impress me.
I would like to think it is the genes, but you have a gift that came from elsewhere.
Well done, darling daughter, and please continue to follow the words of your heart.

I loved this. I think we’ve all been there, done that. Can understand.
