“Love. Is. Now. What. You. Need.”
15.5 x 10 inches ♡ Medium: Chalk Pastel on paper
We had been dreaming of what we might do when we reached the precipice. Some parted before they could lay eyes on the fog, others fell victim to the gleam of this golden road. Lumbas glowed in the mist signaling we had reached home.
You can never predict what will happen at a homecoming. Aklima dropped to her knees and wept, A’idah and Anwaar held onto each other so tightly it seemed as if they were one. When they began to jump and dance their laughter was so warm,
their laughter was sooo warm,
their laughter was just so warm, I couldn’t do anything but stand in our suns path I opened my arms to hold it and it held me right back. Those who stole us never felt its heat, that place we had escaped from was always so dark and cold. “ALIMA!” Aklima belted my name as her tears bounced off her cheeks so full from her smile, she always said my name so sweetly “ Yes” I sang back. “You know for a moment I thought we might have dreamt this place up it felt as though
we might never reach”
I would never tell her but I had felt the same, as the mist engulfed me I thought of how much taller my brother must have grown.
