creative capers

A wander of a poem…

There is grace

in the curling blue

a downy soft landing

for the shattered tenacity of breath

infinite dust

returns to dust

and yet

prism light scatters

a mosaic of essence true.

This poem was my desperate attempt to get from head to paper that thought process. It’s been a long time since I’ve felt that pull to scribble. It was like a comforting shawl wrapped about me.

Tell me what's on your heart~
