Yearning ( The 7 Words Series) No.4



Yearning is rather beautiful in the most ethereal way. She isn't sallow skinned and sad as one may imagine her to be. No. In honest fact, she is rather joyous to be around. Her heart is full with a love she cannot name,dreams she paints on canvas in brilliant color, delicious words she speaks, writes and sometimes howls on coastal roads from her fiery red convertible.

Many are drawn to her like a moth to flame for these very qualities. It is legend and lore that Yearning once held a small, intimate dinner party and  gently placed glowing stars at each place setting that she had  stolen from the night sky. This guaranteed a dream realized for the lucky guests.

Yearning is grand yet she is simple. She favors austere linen dresses in quiet colors but always wears a fiery red sash around her waist. It is her signature as is her hair style. Hair the scent of honeysuckle forever in a loose nest on her pretty head. Yearning swears that when she can find her truest love and name him, only then will she lay it abundantly around her shoulders.

Until then , Yearning climbs mountains, swims in foreign seas and tells of good fortune to any who ask.
She will take many a solitary walk in moody forests, shuffling through fallen leaves. Waiting. Haunted by a nameless love. Waiting for the day she finds whatever it is.

Perhaps then......will she stop and rest. Rest from howling into thin air on coastal roads and stealing the stars from the sky.
