Tumultuous sky
Inundates vertical climb
Uncertain winds blow
Turning pages of wishes
Triumph finds a gracious way

Thanks, Suzanne. If it looks like it can be done, I’ll try. Doesn’t always work out though. 🙂

Wow, fantastic sky and angles in the palm trees as they seem to graciously triumph in bracing themselves against the wind. I love the light reflecting like highlights off the palm fronds. Beautiful image!

Thank-you, Arati. Always a pleasure to get feedback about how an image speaks to a viewer. I see what you saw, but your words bring more light to the intent of the image. Appreciate your comment enormously. ❤

My pleasure. I agree, getting feedback about how an image speaks to someone is something I greatly appreciate as it often enhances my experience of that image.

How did I miss commenting on this one?!?!
<smile> I suppose it works out, seeing as I just posted this week’s challenge, and it parallels a couple or three themes here.
Yes, we can be expressions of grace even in the most tumultuous times. Indeed, we need to be.
Well done. Beautiful pairing of words and image.
