Sue’s snow photo prompt and Putting my Feet in the Dirt’s word prompt (fractured and formless) and Heeding Haiku for asking me to think about seasons and Autumn’s end.

And your passion reigns as queen
The desired heart wins
This little piece was inspired by the fabulous photo provided by The Haunted Wordsmith
It made me think: What was she thinking as she looked over her shoulder? Was she considering what her life could be or could have been IF only she had been (or still was) brave enough to make a change?

Thanks to both. Check out their pages. Good stuff!!
