“Gateway“
Overgrown, cloistered
broken path beckons enter,
mysteries await
Beyond yon gateway
sweet surcease entices all
safe harbor perhaps?
Or a peaceful mask
for unbounded violence
does this door provide?
We find as we seek
death or life, evil or good,
poison or sweet balm
Enter then at risk
of encountering your fate
heart safely guarded

The lovely gate does beckon, but it might be safer to go and explore when the sun comes out 🙂

I was thinking, would you like to do some more? we could create a Spark presentation of even PDF Booklet…..if it looks really good we could make a book and get it printed for family and friends……your pretty words and my pretty pictures? A collaboration

Oh my! That’s something to think about! But you’re a professional and I’m merely a dabbler–I’d be willing, but you’d have to approve anything I wrote. Even if it’s just for family is never want to write words that didn’t do justice to your art. I love this idea, though!

The process of finding poems via my iPhone is slow!!! I might have to try to access WordPress on my old laptop!
