Big thanks to Hive account@kryptoe for introducing me to this contest. I'm looking forward to participating and connecting with you all a bit more.

This week's theme, suadade (Portuguese), is a good one. This poem is about the longing to become real, the longing for love and being seen, the longing for innocence and the deep truth of being. It is a mixing of "hues" as it were between the Greek concept of the ethereal "eidolon" and the wonderful story of The Velveteen Rabbit.

I hope you enjoy it.

xx,
Kay
