Polyglot Dream prompt
Soul as Polyglot
our souls are multi-linguists
Anna sings in Italian hitting every high G like Cupid’s arrow our hearts. But better – hearts can break, her voice will not.
Anna dreams in Arabic, of bodysurfing waves of محبة joy washed with تعاطف empathy, starred with whitecaps spun by oceanic deities — coral, calcite, aragonite, pearls – فرح Love’s disciples infinitely fathomed eternally beckoning from depth.
Anna speaks in silent whispers dialects of chakras once indecipherable yet now, at last, opening —
teal and crimson seas showing the way to promised lands of crowned vagabonds.

Anna is my soul name, self-selected. Trista Signe Ainsworth, I am forever grateful for your wisdom in suggesting this.
I have written about Anna before, but I don’t feel like looking up the link. If you’re meant to read the poem, you will.
Meanwhile, thank you, Trisha Traughber, for a great prompt:
And thank you, dearest readers, for your willingness to get to know Anna, my guiding vagabond, a little better.
