Not What It Seems
by
Veronica Jorge
Memories swirl in the air around my head.
Light flashes and flickers illuminating my thoughts.
Emotions spread a warm blanket over me and shield me
from the wind.

Worries scurry away.

But I’m really counting my blessings, one by one.
See you next time on December 22nd!
