I want to run, run in the sun and jump up high and land on a cloud.
Laughter and joy I always carry with me, that’s the luggage I travel with through life. It’s the sorrow and the problems that I would like to leave behind for just a short while.
From above the world will seem smaller, and my troubles won’t matter anymore.
Perspective, that’s what I need right now; a bit of a distance to make sense of the world below.
Traveling on the clouds for just a short while, perhaps that’s a vacation we all should take.
Word count: 100
The Friday Fictioneers are held by Rochelle Wisoff-Fields. The 100-word challenge gives a different photo every week, and we write and compare our short stories with other bloggers and writers. It’s a fun challenge, and I always look forward to it.
Wonderful daydreams!
Count me in! I’ll cloud-travel anytime. “Laughter and joy I always carry with me, that’s the luggage I travel with through life” Delightful line.
Lovely stream of consciousness.
Thank you. I am glad you stopped by.
Love this. It is all about the perspective, we just have to remember that. Love the line “Laughter and joy I always carry with me, that’s the luggage I travel with through life. “
Thank your for reading. I appreciate your comment.
Enjoy your post a lot!
It’s all so true and so well written….
That sounds like a lovely holiday up there in the clouds, if only we could take it!
As Joni Mitchell sang in “Both Sides Now,” I’ve looked at clouds that way.
I’ve often had similar daydreams as child
Perspective is a great thing to gain, especially if it helps us get rid of troubles… and live.
Dear Bridget,
It’s all about perspective, isn’t it? Wonderfully written.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Beautiful prose, and a lovely message 🙂
Thank you
I think perspective is the word.. I will need vacation too.
Very poetic, the words flow beautifully.
Lovely, Bridget. I hope you get that break from troubles. Joy and laughter to you <3
Same to you 🙂
Enjoyed and felt every word of your beautifully penned story.Fantastic thought!
A lovely sentiment, wouldn’t it be nice to soar over the clouds – without being confined in a tin box with no leg room! very nice.
I like the line about needing a bit of distance to make sense of the world below. I can relate to it. Maybe that’s why I’m constantly submerging the urge to run away.
Yes indeed, nicely written. Thanks for sharing ❤️
