Writing Prompt: BANK
A bank is one of those words that changes depending on where you’re standing.
It can be a place that keeps your money safe.A riverbank where you sit and watch the water flow. Or a bank of clouds gathering before a summer storm.
Growing up, I always preferred the riverbank.
There is something comforting about sitting close to moving water.Watching it carry away leaves, reflections, and worries without ever asking where they came from.
A river never argues with its banks.
It simply follows the path before it, adapting to every bend, every stone, every season.
Perhaps there is a lesson in that.
We spend so much of life trying to control the current, when sometimes all we need is a safe place to stand and watch it flow.
The other kind of bank holds numbers.
Savings. Debts. Balances.
Useful things, certainly.
But the richest accounts I have ever known cannot be measured in money.
They are filled with memories. Friendships. Acts of kindness. The laughter of family gathered around a table. The quiet loyalty of a faithful pet.
Those are the treasures that never lose their value.
If life were a bank account, I would rather be rich in love than in gold.
Because in the end, those are the deposits that keep paying interest long after everything else has faded.
With love, coffee, poetry, and stardust,
