Prompt 44: Stardust















This is my first entry in response to a 'OneSingleImpression' prompt. (In fact, it's been a very long time since I posted here at all!) The 'Stardust' prompt immediately recalled my daughter's story about her five-year-old daughter, Gaia, who awoke one morning still half in her dream, stardust in her mouth. These are the words she spoke. (Click on the image to see it & her words at a higher resolution.)

Here is the link if you would like to explore the haiku prompt site: OneSingleImpression.

Hi Marde--
Really enjoying your site! I'll be back often--

And the photo and word juxtaposition of your 5 year old granddaughter was amazing.

Welcome to OSI--hope you play with us often!

Beautiful! Reminds me of my daughter....When she was 4 she told me she was with God in heaven before she was sent to me.

Glad you joined us at OSI. Aren't children amazing with the truths they speak? Thank you for bringing me this small truth today.

Out of the mouths of babes...

I love the image of "stardust in her mouth."

I'm new at OSI, too! It's a wonderful place.

delicious to read her words. Yes, she
"awoke with stardust in her mouth"
It's my first time with OSS. Glad you've returned.
