walk with me

... through the winter garden.

Sage wisdom rests deceptively,
While summertime joy rusts on the wall,
And buds wrestle wood and frost and bone.
Birds have a dwindling pantry.
Grief remembers it still.
Other ghosts will always remain defiant
Even as lost lagan and derelict are sheltered like treasure.

One more time i realize how important it is to share beauty: it nourishes the soul.I found this quote on Teresa Robinson's blog today and it expresses perfectly what i felt reading your words and admiring your pictures: " As soon as we choose Beauty, unseen forces conspire to guide and encourage us towards unexpected forms of compassion, healing and creativity".

Lovely words - I would say too that as we choose beauty, we disable in one small way the forces of ugliness and meanness in the world as well
