stone with moss and lichens


Get into this train for a great ride....





hiding there-

yet aura makes known
of your presence


******

musty old letter
bringing in tears-
tears me apart


******

others' memories
are just as private
as our thoughts


******


All these and a few more were inspired by J. Andrew Lockhart.

  5. i like this set..
    i can relate to the letters bringing you back, flooded with tears.. and then the reminder that other's memories/thoughts are private and something you cannot control.. ultimately we have to let go of those letters!

  8. I like the play on words in the second with "tears"! But all three are nice crisp images!

  9. as far as the last one- yes, you're right-- doesn't mean I won't think about it, though. :)
    I like them all and thank you.

    That's wonderful. What shadows can't reveal, the aura does well.
