17 July 2019 / 8pm If you look in dark corners you find shadows of gray and light, perhaps a rainbow before clouds, a storm before thunder. And yet, it’s a woman’s sigh caught on a raindrop, a single tear before the fall. Closely is a term for the imagination, many follow the steps of a straight cement path, but I, like few others follow the crooked stones for a deeper more meaningful truth. Some can only hover at the surface so long before cracks form in a facade of nothingness. We are shells of ourselves unless we dig deeper roots. Hold our hearts in our hands and ask why, because without the curiosity and ingenuity we float aimlessly, without feeling. . . . . . I am grateful for the gift of words and colorful plants. . . . . . #fms_imgratefulfor #writing #giftofwords #plants #prose #poem #mywriting #succulents #cacti #summer #july #julyphotochallenge #fmsphotoaday #photoaday #8pm https://www.instagram.com/p/B0ELj6vA3-J/?igshid=1o10aw9aql1mp
