It was not an easy door to open.
When she did, #boundless possibilities became, the threshold a #liminal space between #illusion and potential. Arctic desert morphed to #tundra upon new #sentiments that #burnt away the shackles.
A pang of pain, an old #acquaintance, told her, it was not quite yet time to #celebrate.

Many called her an #optimist. But she saw what was really there. Paying #forward the love she found, she'd never #bottle anything up. Some called her a #saviour, because of the warmth her love brought even in the coldest #Winter.
In the darkest night of my soul, a #hollow scream echoes into the night. Then, #otherworldly silence falls. I catch a #notion of a draft, then realise the giant pendant. It #swings soundless. As it changes direction, a #splash of #cerise illuminates the #celestial canvas.

For those, who like to hear me read to you, my microstory 'Confiding' - inspired by #vss365, #mpotd, #Whistpr, #MicroPrompt, #MastoPrompt, #rise365, #BrknShards & #vssnature.
When I #glance|d at the snow globe with the #fox & the hare #cozy|ing, #water filled my eyes. This #impression! I had my act together, the loose ends rolled up to a neat ball of thread, but some events #traumatize a person. I closed my eyes, confident I'd solve my mind's #puzzle.

The crows tell their tales. Leaves #crunch under feet on #dozy afternoons. #Spirit soars as Winter's bride passes by one last time. Silver, with a #train of golden leaves. #Floral reminiscence. #Fulcrum of season's turn, before the #grove goes to sleep. #Cure for a weary heart.

… #Solemn silence settled over the landscape, #remedy for my screaming nerves. The hare nibbled on one last #green stalk. Snowflakes crumbled from its snout. But I was #immune to the cold.

The day started golden before #gray clouds moved in. Wind lifted leaves and sand fine like #powder. #Entwined in a dance, they twirled through the streets and #garbled the view. When his arms slid around her, she felt a surge like #fireworks. It was those #stolen moments that maintained her #resilience.

'Beware of dogs'.
#Beyond the fence with the sign lay a garden with a #birthday table. She saw the scene through an #hourglass made from #topaz, before the smell of #toast woke her up.
Pondering this #projection of her subconscious, she decided, there was no shame in asking for #help.

It was a day in #early #November. Somewhere, she heard a crow #lament, mirroring her #constitution. Picking shades from the #kaleidoscope on the pallet, she painted light into the grey, letting the darkness #contract and #fold.

When your world turns black, see through the illusion, so the thorn in your side won't become your gravestone. Take the thrill of the pain to wake up from the graveyard. Don't dread the darkness. Be the light. It's #Halloween, and the veils are thin tonight.

Our walk, a #delight on a day #sublime under an #indigo sky. The looks we gave each other, deep and #brazen, as the sky turned #mauve. No #addiction can ever replace our love. The feeling when our fingers #lace together... I'll miss this, forever. #Sullen for a moment, I take a deep breath, and close the #calico bound diary with my memories of you.

A gust. Leaves float to the ground like out-of-scale gondolas, dappling the lawn downstairs with gold. Rain builds up until it's raining threads. I'm snuggling into a woollen blanket, protecting me from the draft. A candle, a sip of hot tea, a thought of you... divine.

#Violent waves crash over me with no #rhyme and reason, #drive me into a state of #mistrust - a dark #cavern where I cower in #sorrow until you find me and strike that match. After that, you vanish, but I carry the #candlelight you ignited in my heart and let it guide me.

A silent #party of dancing colours before everything returns to the earth, except for when geese and cranes #parade in the sky on their way south. One last #gem of light before we need to shine our own. An #essential prompt of the #Universe to #rescue us from falling.

Stuck beneath the #sword of Damocles, I wipe away tears that #burst from #magenta anger, and take a leap of faith over the #chasm amidst who I needed to be to survive being raised by you, and who I really am. In an #endless between, I wonder what awaits me: #birch or #forest?

In an attempt to not go #rigid, I sit still like an #iguana. It doesn't soften my #glare. But listening to the wind #chanting its #captivating tune, feeling it brush my face with #angel wings, does. Finally, tears can wash away the fear.
