a weary, battered heart
crawls out of the shadows
edges towards me,
expectantly
my jaw slack, eyes unfocused
pointed anyelsewhere
beyond the horizon
i feel a dull, phantom ache
lingering deep inside
throbbing with recognition,
stubbornly
as my hand flutters absently
like an errant, wounded butterfly
towards the gaping hole
in my chest.2016SmugMugall rights reservedaroundusbeautifulclose upflowerlimited edition printsnatureprints for saleredrose

The fatal metaphor of progress, which means leaving things behind us, has utterly obscured the real idea of growth, which means leaving things inside us. ~Gilbert K. Chesterton

Seeing Through The Veil
we all have a choice if you want to see, there are lights that can guide... push back on the hands that grasp, that try to drag you into darkness, look up and past the veil of lies that sometimes settles over everything. transcend the fog

She Makes Your World Beautiful
It is a joyous day to pay tribute to the hard working, beautiful, nurturing mothers we know and love, and as mothers, to feel proud and happy about what we do. It is a difficult day for many, as well… some have lost (or cannot have) children; some have lost mothers (or had abusive/absent ones). Whatever your story is, I think of you! I hope the sun shines on your life today, exploding all your tears of both happiness and sorrow into bright, shining orbs. May you find joy to hold in your heart (and then pass on to someone else - that's the best). xoxo

Quietly, I Find You Inside Of Me
The soft sound of unexpected rain falls into my heart and fills my soul with a comfort similar to your familiar smell.

You Came To Save Me
This is one of my favorite flowers in the whole world, photographed in my garden - she is delicate and bold all at the same time... not quite like all the rest in ways that inexplicably draw you to her - nigella damascena, otherwise known as Love-in-a-Mist.
When you see her, you will want to hold on to her always, drinking in every angle and curve, absorbing all of her confusing yet somehow perfectly complimentary elements. Can't she just be yours forever? You long to keep her, but it is simply not possible. In time, she will transform into an equally lovely, but very dry, seedpod. Holding onto all the life she has ever gathered inside of her, she will bide her time. You will hear her shake and whisper, sometimes rattling, in the wind when it comes, as she stands. But stand she will.
She is strong, though eventually she will break, releasing everything she ever was to the wind, letting each piece of her land where it will; in this last act, she will both release all of her gathered burdens and pass life gloriously on.2013EyeEm MarketSmugMugall rights reservedarounduslimited edition printlimited edition printsprint for saleprints
