If you think darkness is fear

follow me

If you see death in shadows

follow me

If you seek happiness through the sun

follow me

If you feel comfort in the covers

follow me

And I will show you the magic

of the hidden self

Joy screeching past decay

Reveals Life

Eternal

 

My latest take on Sue Vincent’s #writephoto prompt. As usual, I’m never quite sure where her photos will lead me. They seem to take on a voice of their own. If you would like to participate, please click here

The Earthworm: Recycling the Past into Light

I seem to be lacking a photograph of an earthworm, but I’ll be honest, I don’t find it one of Mother Earth’s more attractive children. I once had a dream about finding a pile of live earthworms inside the skimmer basket of my pool. The earthworm brings our attention to the burden of the past we  carry inside of us, reminding us that this weight we choose to bear can be recycled into new life.

Recycling the dark into Light

I chew the earth free to bring
air to dense matter. See without
eyes, feel
without hands
breathe
a skin of lungs

I am yin and yang
whole
even when broken

This past you carry
inside darkness
will be digested into light
