Choose (September 8)

Trying to get back in the flow of writing again. I had some help with this one, but I think the more you write, the easier it becomes to write more often.

This is for today’s prompt from these daily prompts: https://similarworlds.com/literature/creative-writing/5385461-September-Writing-Prompts-For-the-writers-out-there

Choose

Every yes
is a hundred quiet no’s
you’ll never speak aloud.

Every step forward
is a soft goodbye
to the roads you didn’t take,
to the hands you didn’t hold,
to the versions of yourself
you’ll never meet.

Choosing is an act of love -
to cradle one moment,
one person,
one life,
even while your heart aches
for the beauty
you didn’t or couldn’t choose.

And maybe the magic
is not in finding
the perfect choice,
but in loving
the one you made.

@ChampagneOnIce Aw it's a long way from the mountains.🏝
And I agree that it gets easier and starts to flow the more we do it.

@Magenta It is, but our mountains are spectacular. :)

I’m going to try and write for at least three of the prompts this month. 🤞🏻
Magenta · F
@ChampagneOnIce Yes they are!

Look forward to reading them.
