The Air Has Color




It's salmon.
It is no mist, no veil, no illusion.

The sun gave me a twilight gift.
It is meant for all of us.
It is on the trees, on
people's skin, on the air.

I breathe in the gift
and smile without smiling.


Note: The picture was taken by yours truly in the vicinities. I suggest you click on it to enlarge if you want to have a better grasp of what I felt when receiving this wonderful gift. :)

Mother's Day - Twitter Chats Blog Tour



Welcome to the Twitter Chats Blog Tour, organized by Anne Tyler Lord at Don’t Fence Me In and by yours truly. ;) Today's theme is Mother's Day.
You'll be traveling with us through the blogs of some of the fantastic authors and writers who participate in our weekly -- funny, entertaining and educating -- Twitter chats. This tour will feature writers from #writechat, #litchat, and #fridayflash.
You will be directed to your next stop at the end of this post. Please feel welcome here, and have a happy Mother's Day!

Where Is Mom
Where's mom?
She's not here dear, but she'll be back by night.
I want my mom.
I know honey...
Why she's never here? Doesn't she love me?
Of course she loves you!
Then why is she never here?
Because she's working...
Why?
Well, people have to work to buy food, clothes, to keep a house.
These things.
Why
does she
have to work?
Why don't you go so she can stay with me?
Well...
Humph.
Will you be my mom instead?
Oh no, pumpkin, I can be your friend if you want, but I'm not your mother.
I want mommy...
Come here sweetie. Lie down on my lap.
I'll tell you a nice story while we wait for her to come back.
A story?
What kind of story?
An adventure, with magic swords and all!
I love magic swords! Can I have a hot cocoa too?
This once, ok?
Ok.
