Quick prompt!

Hope everyone is doing alright. It's been especially quiet lately.

You wake up in a new land, not knowing how much time has passed, realizing you are far away from home.
What do you see when you open your eyes?

Don't think - write the first thing(s) you see.

I feel the cold tapping my body and
the rain singing beautiful melodies
as it trickles over the wooden roof,
I pull the blanket over my head
to open my eyes in the darkness.

I carefully peak over the blanket,
the sun is out but it’s dark outside
I see a mountain hiding behind
the heavy rain, tall grasses tickling
the windowpane, and an oak tree
dancing with no pain.

I take a deep breath and smile.

It’s really been quiet here :) what about you, where do you wake up?

I feel a pain deep in my chest
as, like every morning,
the first thing I see is him...
His eyes, deep blue and aging unkind,
His smile, always smiling but never happy,
His mouth open declaring his honesty, his love for when infact, all he's done is lie to me and show me I'm worthless...

I get out of bed knowing seeing his face will only ever be in my imagination now.

A hood is taken from my head but darkness shields the horizon,
the sounds of moving men and stamping feet surround me.
The smell of dusty sand and acrid camel odor sends clues
that my abductors were in the pay of Colonel Cobanli.

Little hope was there for my survival, but my hands were free
this mistake would cost them dearly when the time came
for an honorable death must be bought in the blood
of the oppressors of my people in this bloody war game.

Upon waking up,
I see sunshine rays shining through closed shutters
I see a fan oscillating,
keeping the room chill while I remain still-
unmoving,
just laid down on a hill of blankets and pillows
while my hair resembles foliages of trees
during Autumn:
kind of Reddish, semi-brownish,
all over the place

I see waterfalls distilling from my eyes
through a mirror on a wall
and through that mirror, I see me
looking at my nature
and I see my nature
and I see how free my nature seems
as I wake up

I found my Wings
By Maple Tree

Dewdrops
are but a kiss away
from my hushing whispers.

Questions surround
my mind as a hint of
lavender, kiss my nose
awakening the inner blessings
of me.

Iridescent wings, flutter
as midnight cascades twirl
upon a toadstool and dancing
pixies.

Encased in a mystical
illusion of summer
nightingales and prancing nymphs.

Fairy's shall fly upon sparkling
angels, as my limbs take flight
I become one with the night shadows.

I'm not entirely sure how I feel about this one, but I did my best.

My face is damp
cool with morning dew
The shadows of branches
dance over my face

The sun peers down at me from above
leaves whisper rumors of my stirring
The wind rises as if to ask
Who are you stranger?

But then it falls back
Watching, wondering
My fingers brush over cool stones
And I push myself up

How long have I slept
on the cool forest floor
And who all knows
of my presence?

This is a land I have never seen before
The trees still hold their souls
And there is magic in the air
I can feel it, taste it, touch it

My chest aches as I realize
That time and distance keep me
From all I ever knew and loved
And from all that ever hurt me

A twinkle of light signals
a sudden arrival
Pale wings flutter softly
nearly hidden behind a tree

A warm voice calls out
"What are you?"
I search my memory
foggy from years of disuse

I am a friend, not a foe
I am a human, if just barely
I suppose in the end
I am merely me

the sea and shore is what I see
there’s sand, some blood, and boats,
there’s lads with opened throats
all tied up to a tree
