The captivating silhouette
Tranquilizing and Intriguing
From afar, I thought!
It never occurred to me
How empty it could be
Once I get close!
An empty silhouette
That captured my eyes
Alas, I learn a little late!

Sometimes things that captivate us are really empty on closer inspection, aren’t they? I love how you allowed this prompt to speak to you (and us) so deeply.

Such big words, Vinitha. I am just happy that the empty silhouettes do not evoke a sad picture here. Or do they? If they do, fill them with sand and seawater. Don’t let them stay empty. Throw them in the sea and watch the waves play a catching game with them. If this pair vanishes, get another pair and repeat. No one should be sad.
