Snapshot in Time

I have received the proof of "Shadows on the Carpet II" and need to make just 1 small adjustment.  While I do that, I will share 'Snapshot in Time' from the Torment section of the book along with the photograph that inspired it.  The photo was taken by my photographer friend, Michaela Varekova.

Nature’s cruel

Parody

Of her life

Kodachrome

Excerpt from

Her journal

Above pale

Gold lit high

Strung wires

A gray and

Angry sky

Spilling blood

Shadows on the Carpet - Clarity

Clarity is the 9th and final section of "Shadows on the Carpet".  The journey has taken us from the darkness to the light. Today I am sharing the poem 'Clarity'.

Clarity

See the silence in your mind

Hear the colors of your heart

Be still and travel far

Search wide to find the

Treasure that is truth

As colored sands of time flow

Like rivers into eternity

And in this moment

Creation is our only reality
