I'm busy indoors doing the usual chores but my mind is outdoors where the wind blows softly.

I hope you love this verse as much as I do. It's an excerpt from the #poem Amalivaca, by A. J. Seymour, one of Guyana's finest poets. Click here to learn more: https://www.instagram.com/p/DCrddiUONBt/?igsh=NXI5c2xndDRxZTl0

Whenever I read this, I feel free.

Have a lovely Friday.
