Mother I feel you under my feet…

Mother I hear your heartbeat…

Mother I see you when the eagle flies…

Mother please take me higher…

Lens-artists Photo Challenge this week is a ‘you pick’. Reena’s Xploration challenge is a sentence to be used at the end of the post. I am indeed challenged by Reena’s words.

Just a stranger on the bus
Tryin’ to make his way home?
