some manage to stay afloat
while others watch safely from the shore
in that odd space
that’s not quite winter
but not yet spring
some manage to stay afloat
while others watch safely from the shore
in that odd space
that’s not quite winter
but not yet spring
that day by the lake
quietly absorbing the color and light
“Light plays on the
dark surface of the lake. Each afternoon
your shadow walks beside you on the wall,
and the days stay long and heavy underneath
the distant rumor of the harvest. One
more summer gone…”
~ Dana Gioia
with the fear of stagnation
she became a shapeshifter
“Our job is to record, each in his own way,
this world of light and shadow and time
that will never come again
exactly as it is today.”
~ Edward Abbey
