Fragility

Artist:  Kathryn  Dyche Dechario

Fragile

leaves, I’m a tree

unyielding, like a storm

I’ll not lay blame on changing clouds,

nor the quickening sands, moulding my hands

into pearls, layered hard, shiny -

Peel away  skin  at  night:  

blood, scars, fears- I’m

Fragile

Posted for Imaginary Garden for Real Toads - I am featuring the lovely work of Kathryn Dyche Dechairo.   There's a give-away for those participating until OLN Monday.   Thanks Kathryn !!!

Mirror sky

Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia by Tomas Rowski

I walk
Sea of salt flat 
Emptiness pulls, gaping 
Silence which thunders in my ears, 
Sky ricochets my thoughts, unborn & free 
When it rains, pristine as snowflakes,   
The sky is a mirror   
beckoning, so  
I walk



until words untangle, drift like clouds, carelessly float as paper boats, then fold  

unresisting into the page, sculptured stones

Pink blooms

Grace @ Everyday Amazing

pink blooms

bursting like waves

upon the cold spring breeze

garlands weave, casting aside leaves
 and modesty, like sassy show troupers-   
painting the sky iridescent- 

i drink in your beauty

-swift as sunset-

pink blooms
