Photo-Inspire Me Tag

 I was tagged by Potpot

“pictures speak a thousand words, but for me, only one word can describe this picture…”

 

Here’s the rule:

 

Write a poem or an inspiring line based on a photo of your choice. This photo can be your own, or someone else’s. (If the picture is not yours, please ask permission from the owner when you post it, or better yet, provide only the link to the picture that inspired you, without posting it.)

Your poem or inspiring line may be of any length, and any genre. It can be humorous, sentimental, heart-warming, whatever. You may write in Ilokano, English or Filipino.

Post your inspiring line in your blog and in the comment section of this page (or just a link to your post so we could go and check it there). For poetry submissions, please indicate if you wish your piece to be posted in Bilingual Pen as an article submission.

The goal of this game is to get us to write, and express our thoughts and emotions

 

 

 

 

The Beach

and the grains of sand scrub away

the callouses of doubt

and the scorching hot sun melts down

the the icy tower of pride

and the salt in the air gently cleanses

the eyes that used to see nothing

and sound of the waves comforts the

childlish, fluttering, playful heart

and the warmth of you sitting next to me

is enough to make me forget

that I am me, and you are you

and we are here

for there is only

the beach
