The inception and conclusion are like bookends,
not of our own choosing.
Then there’s the storm in between;
pages filled with complicated poems and harrowing
tales
With a love story threading though, hopefully.

This is beautiful, Gina.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteLoved it. The image of life (so to speak) held together by the bookends.
ReplyDeleteThe beginning, the end and then the important stuff, living life. Thank you so much!
DeleteThoughful piece of writing. Made me think about all the stuff between those bookends. Glad you included the part about the love story. Nicely written.
ReplyDeleteWith birth and death being the bookends, you have just one life to fill those pages. Ought to be with people/things you love.
DeleteOh how lovely!I agree-life definitely is all about the "in between" ,though somehow we seem to focus more on the beginning & end ;-)Loved it Gina!
ReplyDeleteYou know that whole journey business. It's true. It is sometimes easy to lose track of that and not be present. Thank you, as always, Atreyee!
ReplyDeleteI loved this and all the stories it implied.. You always have the best way of getting to the root of how I feel.
ReplyDeleteTGIF my friend
You are my greatest supporter. Thank you for that! We are cut from the same romantic cloth. That's how!

Imaginative take on the prompt. Good job Gina.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Paul!

ReplyDeleteThanks and I love that quote too. And I agree. We make what happens.
DeleteEvery page counts in this book we call life and you get that across brilliantly. Very nicely done.
ReplyDeleteDon't forget to come back and vote!
Every page does. And we only get that one page, one time, before it life turns a new page. I think about this a lot. Thanks for the visit and positive support. Can't vote this weekend but I certainly have my favorites.

ReplyDeleteWow, Gina, this is amazing. "With a love story threading through, hopefully" - I loved this line. Fantastic job.
ReplyDeleteA great message!
ReplyDeleteFor some reason, I remembered a friend's email signature:
"Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain."
"If you spend your whole life waiting for the storm, you'll never enjoy the sunshine"
