JUNE 1



May 28, 2012
Hot, humid, summer-like days abruptly ended as heavy rain fell and thunder echoed the valley after lightning flashed the dark clouds of early afternoon.


Life shackles not mind overflowing dreams impressed upon reality.
Walls are built from within to escape without.
Intoxication frees not self, only smothers, hides,
Quenches not feelings deep and mysterious, marvelous and ecstatic.
Transforming reality beyond self, marvelous beyond ordinary,
Feelings excitable beyond reason, is life unshackled.

The first of June and a year has past!! Seems as yesterday so vivid that day. Yes, a year has past.

RDS, it was lovely to see a post from you pop up in my newsfeed. I hope you are well! I am enjoying my photography so much, and the poetry is returning some after a long break. As always, your words are beautiful and filled with meaning - have a great Monday!
