Pictures By The Sea
Pictures by the sea
By Karyn Indursky
"Draw me pictures by the sea. Show me how you want
it to be. Will the sun be out or hidden? Will the
public be forbidden? What would it feel like to
have your dream come true? Would it cheer you up
when you're blue? Would this be your burning secret?
Would you have any feelings of regret?"
Annie drew me those pictures. They had her family
and friends in it. Color jumped out of the page,
showing her zest for life. The sun gave me a warming
feeling. Her dream had come true.
She had gone to the beach. When she came back,
she was drained. She told me stories. Her new
pictures were even lovelier. She could die in peace
and happiness. She did a few days later.
\As a momentum, my wall is full of pictures by the sea.
