Six Pelicans

It was as if the veneer of a morning split open and six pelicans flew out through the crack carrying the light of another world, bright gold upon every wing and passing overhead had me bathed in a moment until they flew back into their world, leaving me to mine.

nicely done, Paul. I loved the imagery..."the veneer of a morning split open and six pelicans flew out through the crack" I could actually envision that. Have a great evening, Sara

I love the art of the possible - where a mood feels fixed and then something breaks through, everything lifts. Then of course a little reminder occurs to return the mood, but it can't settle in as tightly, because it was just proven it is possible to see and feel beauty. That's my take and I enjoyed :)

Pelicans with golden light on their wings took one look at our world and wisely returned to their own. I don’t blame them.
