I'm having a conversation with you,

That never happened.

And it's the most beautiful memory,

I will preserve.

Breezing through the chapters,

My imagination run wild.

Accelerating with every minute,

My heart thrums and thrums.

Keeping me caged in an illusion I created,

It's delicate and dangerous.

Pieces of me slowly disappear.

I'm tangled in what I've weaved,

The old is passing;

Getting lost to the unfamiliar,

I drown,

I soar,

Up and down I go,

I end up here.

...

Alone.

This warm sunset in July makes me wanna be free like a bird and fly. This evening view of these rolling hills against this pink and blue sky makes me wanna forget all the things that ever made me cry. This endless ocean up above that soon will turn to night. This miracle before me, this beautiful illusion called life. ~ 🤟🏻 #slay #slaytheday #slaylife #beautifulillusion #rollinglandscape #rollinghills #mountainscape #mountains #mountainmovers #movingmountains #eveningsky #summersky #summersunset #countryscape #countrysky #countryevening #countrylandscape #rurallandscape #beauty #nature #wildandfree #originalphotography #originalpicture #originalphoto #originalpic #landscapephotography #landscapephoto #landscapelover #landscapes #sunsetphotography ~ @slaytonjd @glowbuggallery @deafgirlsmusic ~ ✨🤟🏻✨🤟🏻✨ (at USA) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgBCYlVuBFZ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It’s 🐪 day ya’ll! May is a crazy busy month for me, but I’m trying to just go with the flow. I hope it doesn’t interfere with my reading time 😩 🔹I posted a flash giveaway in my stories yesterday. Anyone who likes my Shadow Girl post will be entered into the giveaway! Open to U.S. residents only. . 🏙 . BEAUTIFUL ILLUSION by Christie Nelson released yesterday. This book is set in 1939 and centered around the construction of Treasure Island at the Golden Gate International Exposition. Romance, intrigue, and a little bit of mystery complete this fantastic book. . 🏙 . Thank you to @booksparks for sending me a copy { #partner } . 🏙 . Synopsis: . As the march of boots echoes from overseas, all nations that border the Pacific and beyond are invited to build pavilions on Treasure Island at the Golden Gate International Exposition, an event dedicated to the pursuit of world peace and brotherhood. Meanwhile, Lily Nordby, smart, strong-willed, and feisty, lands a job at theExaminer and is given a once-in-a-lifetime assignment covering the Exposition. There she meets Tokido Okamura, the host of the Japanese Pavilion―and despite being highly suspicious of his true purpose on the island, she’s swept up in a whirlwind of powerful emotions that lead her into unknown territory. Brilliant and enigmatic Woodrow Packard, a Mayan art scholar at the Expo, prefers remaining aloof and alone. But his infatuation and deepening relationship with Lily thrusts him into the limelight. He asks himself, could someone as smart and beautiful as she return the love of a man who is a dwarf? In an attempt to prevent Lily from spiraling into danger, Woodrow intercedes to help her uncover her family’s past―but when fate intervenes, they are both pulled into a destiny they could never have imagined. Mixing fact and fiction with a dash of noir, Beautiful Illusion is a story of love and deception that explores what happens when human hearts collide as the world is plotting war. . 🏙 . #jennblogsbooks #beautifulillusion #christienelson #shewritespress #booksparks #sparkpress #newrelease #historicalfiction #goldengateexpo #openbook #indigogirl #bodybutter #poshwithjenniferegan #booksandcoffee
