Free Write Friday – Yellow
This week’s prompt me took me to an unexpected place.Thanks to KellieElmore.com for another intriguing prompt.
Yellow
The room filled with yellow light and she felt herself ascending into the light like a feather on a wind current of energy swimming in a sea of emotions beyond space and time into an infinite sphere of softness swelling into an overwhelming wave of sensation smiling in the arms of warmth and love that could not be explained or limited she was happy. Finally after weeks of unspeakable unbearable pain it was gone she was released she could rest in the comfort of that sweet yellow blanket of joy and welcome so long in coming.
Gently the nurse closed the old woman’s eyes, gazed on the now serene face, and wiped away her tears as she walked out of the room.
This is quite an intriguing token for Yellow. It held my attention from start to finish. I love how you finished the story from the nurse’s perspective. It’s a smart move that reveals the truth.
Thanks, Uzo. What’s so much fun about these free writes is when I begin them I don’t know how they will end.
Lovely. I thought it was about meditation then the last paragraph took it somewhere else. Beautifully written.
Thank you. Yes, that’s the fun of free writing, not knowing where it’s going til it’s there.
How touching. So well written. I loved it! – Nicole
Thank you.
Oh my … in tears … so lovely!!!
Didn’t mean to make you cry. Thanks for enjoying.
To the point and touching, a very welcome read. Thank you.
You’re welcome.
This is beautiful. Truly.
Thank you.
bittersweet. lovely, lovely penning. I was captivated. yellow…sigh… ♥ Thank you. ♥
Thanks for the inspiration.
Departures, beautiful moments to life, and release, a moving time…
Thanks.
When pain goes, like in the above, it’s like every small story of a person, finds new life to breathe in a different way, through family, friends, and even strangers yet to meet.. I may of been too brief with the first comment, but I hope the above explains better the intent, as with age, the stories grow in number with time’s passing.
So true.
I’m getting bored with your awesomeness. Can’t you throw a clunker in just once?
I’ll take that as a compliment. Although, with these Free Write Fridays I really feel I don’t deserve compliments, as I don’t “work” on this writing. It really is a free flow in which I don’t know where I’m going until I get there. You should try it out.
It was a compliment. I don’t like to say things the same way twice, if I can manage it.
Don’t discount your natural ability.
Simple…elegant…emotional, all wrapped up and beautifully symbolizing this thing called life (& death), loved it!
Thanks Mark. I feel all credit goes to Kellie because otherwise these gifts of words wouldn’t be flowing through me.
Yes, she does prompt us to go in directions we might not have otherwise and that is a good thing!
Very beautiful. 🙂
Thank you.
Tiny but mighty! Excellent 🙂
Thank you.
Reminds me of mama. Re-read it to try and grab the peace she felt in the end, but it still makes me kind of sad.
Love you.
Wasn’t thinking of mama, didn’t mean to make you sad.
