Color of Mist
Grey is the color of mist
Soft as an angel’s kiss
An ancient zephyr passes by
Embracing blossoms with its sigh

Stone Fence
Strength built in layers
Each stone contributes its force
Unmoving, watchful

Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge: Fences & Gates
From Royalty Pecan Farms, Caldwell, Texas
Traffic Jam in a Jar
Traffic Jam in a jar
How I wish that’s where you are
Cars and trucks galore
Block the road forever more
It’d be great to travel to a star
Stuffing all traffic jams into a jar

First Step Forward
Not everyone could see the book; it chose its audience with care, inviting only those struggling to find their way into and through the world. Once seen, there was no escape: it required two pages of art from each person.
In completing the task, they discovered the demand was really a gift: a glimpse of a future where art was inevitable, achievable. This was their first step forward.
Coming around the corner, a young girl hesitated when she spotted the book. A breeze drifted through the garden, tossing the pages to display two blank sheets, beckoning the creator within her.

Contrast
Dark and light direct
One’s attention to contrast
Unique, not alone
