My mood suddenly lifted.
The day was crisp and bright,
the atmosphere quivering with life,
like the translucent strands of a rare aquatic species
with long, flowing tentacles,
lappets flowing vertically from a jellyfish’s bell.
Would that human energy could materialize in such a way.
I imagine such strands waving horizontally
from the edges of my black coat.

So beautiful …. Lifted!!
Mission accomplished! Thanks for sharing.
jelly fish is not a wish
it is certainly not my dish 🙂
I like the flow
also the glow
but then..no more
not lift ..but swim
under the waves
filled with water
floats away !
I like the flow / also the glow!
🙂 me too
What a last line!
Yes, Magic!
sometimes we just need to find our glow.
Look out for women in black coats today – Beautiful and dangerous!
And high energy!
and with a smile on her face!
“Lappets.” I can’t help but picture something sweatier.
Laughing. Lappets. Flappers. I get it.
Beautiful
