What I love is defined by what I lack.
In the absence of light: music.
In the absence of sound: stars.
In the absence of sleep: dreams.
Without you, I fell for her.
This post was written in response to the Trifecta Writing Challenge Trifextra prompt:
One of the most famous songs from [The Sound of Music] is “My Favorite Things.” Since its inception, the song has been covered by countless artists, and we’re asking you to follow suit. Give us a few of your favorite things, in whichever form you want, in 33 words exactly.
Not much like the song, I admit. But some of my favorite things nonetheless.
Also, I have a bit of writing up for critique at Trifecta. Please take a moment to check it out and leave me some feedback! Many thanks in advance.
