Freeze Frame

The stillness of cold

as winter exhales its breath

brings silence to life.

Expression in a Stalk

loop

This is a a picture of a flower in my back yard.  Its stalk was green in the summer and its flower yellow.  I like the expression it portrays and for some reason, how it reminds me of the woods. Maybe it's the brown in the stalk.  It also reminds me of a dancer and the movement of ideas. There's a song by Nickel Creek called Out of the Woods.  It's a love song, but when I listen to it, I like to think it's for all those creative desires in my heart waiting to be exposed and explored.

Here's the song for those of you who want to listen:  Out of the Woods   

Swirl

December

When we think about our senses, many of us tend to separate one from the other, but I find it rather fascinating how, in reality, one sense can heighten or trigger a response in another.  For some reason, when I saw last night's sky, I was reminded of one of my favorite pianist and one of the arrangements from his album called December.  The piece is called Variations on the Canon by Pachelbel.     

Here it is for those of you who want to listen:

As Winter Comes

remembrance

When days are cold 

and my petals have fallen,

remember me as I once was

with my color, 

with my fragrance.

And dream 

that I will bloom 

again.
