misty aura of calmness
smiles and frowns of life

That was lovely. Each path we take (though even better if lined with trees), is filled with both positive and negative. It’s for us to decide the energy in which we pick up on.

True that. Some bloggers hold weekly “prompts” where you’ve to build up a story/poem based on a given picture. There is a word limit. It’s really a wonder to read how different people have different perspectives on a single picture.
